CURRENT MISSION

To balance my dreams and senses

ABOUT ME

I'm outgoing, funny, and sometimes sarcastic. I love to travel and meet new people. Currently, I am in the process of planning my four month trip to Europe and look forward to March when I will be landing in London. The reason for this holiday is to explore new countries, visit friends and make new ones, enjoy life and take a deserved rest. But also because I want to learn a bit more about Europe and its people, its cultural diversity, and its history.

CouchSurfers, you can help me understand what being European means by showing me your way of life, by guiding me into your city, your culture and/or the history of your country.

PHILOSOPHY

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."
~Mark Twain

A prophet once said, "Don't tell me what a man says. Don't tell me what a man knows. Tell me where he's travelled."

'Follow your heart wherever it takes you and be happy.
Life is brief and very fragile and only loaned to us for a little while. Wake up every morning with the thought that something wonderful is about to happen.'
