PHILOSOPHY

"This idea here is very safe, that one is very risky. Go for the risk. IT'S BETTER TO FAIL SPECTACULARLY THAN TO PASS ALONG AND DO SOMETHING WHICH IS MEDIOCRE."

"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand."
Randy Pausch (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo)

"Borders? I have never seen one. But I have heard they exist in the minds of some people." Thor Heyerdahl

And the last but not least: "Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it."
Lucy Maud Montgomery

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed some couches in the past, hosted a couple of people and attended some
couchsurfing meetings.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Thanks to couchsurfing my last holidays were so wanderful. I surfed many couches then and I've met plenty of wonderful people I'll never forget
