About Me

CURRENT MISSION

saving the climate

ABOUT ME

Hmmm, what to say... I'm a humorous, green, open-minded, feminist, tolerant, laid-back, but terribly stubborn person with strong opinions and beliefs. I love nature, animals, music and kids.

PHILOSOPHY

A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise. (Aldo Leopold)

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not. (Dr. Seuss)

Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious (Oscar Wild)

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery,
non but ourselves can free our minds! (Bob Marley)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't know how exactly, but I happened to randomly invite strangers to stay at my place a couple of times and I really enjoyed it... so I decided to join couchsurfing.org!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I actually didn't host 'real' couchsurfers yet, but what I did was quite similar! (see "How I participate"). However, I surfed some amazing couches all over Europe and North America - experiences of which I have very fond memories. I'm happy something like this exists. I believe surfing other people's couches is the best way of traveling - 'cause the good thing about a city is not its architecture, but its people!

Interests

I'm interested in discussing all kinds of everything with all kinds of people - frequently ending up in debates over environmental issues, politics, or feminism. I enjoy reading books/web/news, cooking, watching good documentaries/movies, and making music. I like meeting new people, having interesting conversations, and seeing new places !
