About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying and finding the happy place for me in this life

ABOUT ME

I've changed my life from how-it-was-suppose-to-be into who-knows. Enjoying it but at the same time still thinking should I move back to who-I-am-suppose-to-be mode... But then I am also wondering what does that even mean...

I am full of contradiction: I enjoy travelling, talking, meeting new people, finding cultural differences, exploring new things. But at the same time I love to be at home, alone, enjoy the quietness and be happy with the same old stuff. :) However usually the latter part start to bore me and I need to go out and explore!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am really new in CS. Heard about this from a friend and after arriving to Melbourne and not knowing anyone I understood that it is a great way of meeting new people. I hate feeling alone and beeing a part of CS project you are never alone. No matter where you go.

So, I've only been attending Melbourne meetings and meeting people in the CS community - beeing part of the meetings and bringing myself and experiences into them.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As I am quite new in this whole scene I've mainly been attending meetings in Melbourne - chatting, changing opinions, having beers and drinks, eating pizza and listening good music. I've also delivered singing bday card on behalf of CS member - that was so funny!

Have not couchsurfed yet but looking forward to it. And when I get back home I am so excited to get my first couchsurfers into my very comfortable and big couch.

Interests

"That's interesting" is a sentence that can be heard from my mouth all the time (my friends will confirm that as they are really bored with it.. =). Everything interests me, but I might get bored really fast....
