Our topic today is \u201cUncertainty\u201d. We are all faced with uncertainties every day, but the way that we <strong>deal<\/strong> with them and the way we <strong>feel<\/strong> about them makes us unique. Some of us feel terribly helpless in situations of uncertainty. On the other hand, there are people, for example those who enjoy playing poker, who think that certainty is boring and are always looking for the adrenaline which uncertainty provides them with during their adventures. Are there any tricks, for those who don\u2019t like uncertainty to be able to take decisions and feel safe with their choices? Or for those who seek uncertainty as a thrill in life and enjoy weighing up different probabilities?<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely homeless<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In our first category, \u201cabsolutely homeless\u201d, Elene from Georgia shares with us how she left her lovely, predictable and comfortable home in Georgia and ended up sleeping rough in a car in Amsterdam together with three friends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely uncertain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In our second category, \u201cabsolutely uncertain\u201d, Adika, a student from Azerbaijan, tells us about a situation where she observed a man well because she was not so sure whether she should accompany him to his house for <a href=\"https:\/\/about.couchsurfing.com\/about\/how-it-works\/\">CouchSurfing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely open<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In our last category, \u201cabsolutely open\u201d,\u00a0Amauri, a student from Brazil tells us about how he resolved the uncertainty of living with a roommate from an Arab country. Amauri had read on the internet that single Arab men do not like to have girls around their house and feel a little awkward when there are female visitors at home.<\/p>\n<p>What about you? Have you recently experienced uncertainty in your life? How did you feel about it?
