Amanda - Part 1

I was having some really rough days, and after hosting Sarah Kaiser, I thought that it would be impossible to host someone as nice as her.
With no cellphone or no other way to contact Amanda, I was starting to feel slightly nervous as I was running to take Sarah to the bus station.
After some minutes of waiting and trying to guess how she would look like, Amanda came. She was carrying an perfectly amazing smile, and I remember that she hugged me as if we were old friends. I guess I will never forget that warm feeling I felt inside with all of that. In the beginning I kind of thought that she was nervous, till I realized that it was more than that. Amanda carries all the time an amazing energy, that fills up a room and it's contagious to everybody standing right next to her.
Sadly I said goodbye to Sarah, but well lots of things were yet to come, and we were just about to start what were the most amazing 24h I've had till now, sharing an amazing salad made by Amanda, and Apfel Strudel made by the lady at the Botanical Garden.

Couchsurfing: A couch love story

All started with Cori, Piotr, Gozia and Milda and Kristina. I never thought that happiness could come from strangers, but since I started this amazing trip, at home or while travelling, I met the most amazing persons I could ever asked for.
I shared laughs, tears, played Viking Cup, took jumping photos, ate Frituur sited on the side-walk, listened to Amanda playing guitar, listed to an amazing couple singing a lullaby before they went to sleep, and many many other amazing things.
When I start thinking about this, I can't even see my life without these persons I met during the way.
Now that many things will change on my life, I look back and even not wanting to repeat myself, I see that I lived a really really good life. It was perfect even with all the ups and downs.
But the trip has just began.
