CURRENT MISSION

Discovering Asia and time-out

ABOUT ME

Worked hard for the last couple of years.
Allowing myself a break. Quiet one of my jobs.
Packing my back-pack and leaving for Korea.
Will see from there.
Ready for something new.

Back home now. Fell in love with Japan and want to go back there. To be with Mayumi.

PHILOSOPHY

I'd rather just sing (Enrico Caruso)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Looking for couches on my trip around Asia in the next 6 months.
Already thinking about hosting people in my house once I get back.
