About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"The purpose of this life is to fart around. Do not ever let anyone tell you any different."

ABOUT ME

NOW THEN :D
I got a CS account a couple years ago with the intention of bumming around the Balkans. However, I ended up staying in hostels or with helpful drunk people I met at random rather than organised on here. I really want to get in to this so if you want to stay with me I promise not to molest you and to feed you, douse you in vodka and show you to all my mental Polish and expat mates.

PHILOSOPHY

"the purpose of this life is to fart around. Do not ever let anybody let you any different".
