About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find my mission! ...meanwhile, try everything :D

ABOUT ME

Funny.... And yes, I can do other things besides smiling and making people feel good and being fun, it's just that I enjoy all these things!
ok...other things...dynamic, courageous, curios (not pushy, just wanna learn stuff,)well developed sense of humor, witty and with a great hunger for life.
I come from a part of Romania with good, open and direct people. I came to Bucharest to study. Things, people were different here: life has a more rapid pace, people don't have patience, you have to keep up and more. It helped me to better understand and develop myself. I am grateful for that. Now I feel I have to move on, I feel there are a lot of other places and people to experience. This is my current preocupation!

PHILOSOPHY

Our supreme goal is happiness. We have to do whatever it takes to reach it.
You have to know yourself, you have to find yourself. You can do this through experiences, by changing your surroundings, by reaching towards your own limits.
Changing your surroundings means changing the people around you; this is why we have to get to know them, to understand them. No matter how different they are. Different people will reach different sides within yourself. You have to stay opened.
Reaching for your limits means trying to improve yourself and others and your realtionship with others.
I find myself to be happy when i can make people around me happy. Whether i make them laugh, or i listen to one of their problems, or I help them with smth , this is what trigerrs most satisfying feelings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This community's purpose is to bring people together, right? Ok. Then let's talk! Let's meet! let's exchange opinions.... Traveling and getting to experience a culture is more than visiting....it involves knowing its people, its habits. I can do that for Romania for anyone who contacts me... and more ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well...the other day I was a little bit down; then I remembered I was expecting a CS the next day... took my worries away, forgot about bad stuff! All I was left with were good talks, dancing, making, cooking, sharing, teaching....this is great!
On the other hand, being a guest....first time....wonderfully welcomed, felt at home, soo much fun, sooo much partying.... Amsterdam is the city i'm moving to!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing is when you have all these ideas
in your mind about how the world works, how some things
are possible and some things are impossible and then,
one day, somebody comes and does something amazing,
something you thought to be impossible. How? They
didn't know it was impossible! They just have other
beliefs, other limits than you. And then you realize
it's all in your head, and that different cultures
shape people in so many opposite ways and directions
that everything you took as given is just a limit
imposed by yourself and that you can do anything and
be whoever you want!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to be happy!
