I am a little philosopher. Lover of science. I am kind, optimistic, cheerful openhearted person. I like healthy, simple and natural food, I enjoy to be in the nature, hiking and live in a tent for few days. I love to try different kind of sports (martial arts, capoeira, swimming e.c.), I practice meditation regularly and I LOVE RUNNING in parks, beaches or whatever there is to move your body along the way! ;D
I love to meditate and all the kinds of ceremonies and mystic things from other cultures and traditions. I like to play instruments when I have the opportunity. I'm a communicative person, I’m trying to understand what’s going on around, how this world is going.

PHILOSOPHY

- You get what u spread/What goes around comes around
- Everything in this world is connected and linked.
- We all are on the same side.
- Don't talk, - just Do it.
- Your exterior world is a reflexion of your inner world

HOW TO COMMUNICATE
I love to talk about any topic, including the ones considered taboos. I don’t take things personally that’s why it’s impossible to hurt me with your opinion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer hanging out with locals while traveling to get an authentic cultural experience. Couchsurfing is an awesome community and great way to meet amazing people with incredible stories. It really changed the way I see the world and made my travel and living abroad experiences so much better! I feel like I've learned something from every person I met so far.

It's a unique way to discover real life of locals and travelers. Nature is probably the best thing for the soul. I try to get out to it as often as possible. Share my life's experiences and philosophy; traveling and meeting new people; and any other thing that might come the way.

POEM
1. All the way

If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don’t even start.
This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs and maybe even your mind. Go all the way.
It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision, mockery... isolation.
Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it.
And, you’ll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you’re going to try, go all the way.
There is no other feeling like that.
You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. Do it, do it, do it. All the way.
You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It’s the only good fight there is.

(Charles Bukowski Poem) --> [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6_QUhUPrF4&fbclid=IwAR06r5pzTo1VPmbLWd0H4919J7n1lGwTV9otvJZBwxNZ_Fy0DT-2GWAJeOs]

2. The Laughing Heart

Your life is your life
Don't let it be clubbed into dank submission.
Be on the watch.

There are ways out.
There is a light somewhere.
It may not be much light but
It beats the darkness.
Be on the watch.

the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
You can't beat death but
You can beat death in life, sometimes.
And the more often you learn to do it,
The more light there will be.

Your life is your life.
Know it while you have it.

You are marvelous.
The gods wait to delight In you.

(Charles Bukowski) --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc-9vXS8Cpk

PHILOSOPHY
Let go of attachment - Alan Watts / UG Krishnamurti / Terence Mckenna

“To be detached from the world, (in the sense that Buddhist and Taoists and Hindus often talk about detachment), does not mean to be non-participative. By that I don't mean that you just go through doing everything mechanically and have your thoughts elsewhere. I mean a complete participation, but still detached.

And the difference between the two attitudes is this..

On the one hand, there is a way of being so anxious about physical pleasure, so afraid that you won't make it, that you grab it too hard..that you just have to have that thing, and if you do that, you destroy it completely.. and therefore after every attempt to get it, you feel disappointed, you feel empty, you feel something was lost..and so you want it again, you have to keep repeating, repeating, repeating, repeating..because you never really got that. And it is this that's the hang up, this is what is meant by attachment to this world...

But on the other hand, pleasure in its fullness cannot be experienced, when one is grasping it..

I knew a little girl to whom someone gave a bunny rabbit. She was so delighted with the bunny rabbit and so afraid of losing it, that taking it home in the car, she squeezed it to death with love. And lots of parents do that to their children. And lots of spouses do it to each other. They hold on too hard, and so take the life out of this transient, beautifully fragile thing that life is.

To have it, to have life, and to have its pleasure, you must at the same time let go of it.”
