About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn about the whole wide world...

ABOUT ME

Little bit crazy..and mostly quite cool.

I love to analyse and wonder and ponder and agree and object and think and explore, and be naked and dance and cook and sing and swim and write and draw and daydream and lucid dream and paint and create and make music and laugh laugh laugh laugh all the time!!

PHILOSOPHY

Exploring, getting in touch with people, figuring them out, thinking about them , analysing them... (watch out! haha)..

I strive off meeting interesting, quirky and intense people with strong or different ideas and perspectives that I can learn from , and they from me,.. is this you??

I WANT ADVENTURE! This is what I'm searching for right now.. I want to push every inch of my mind and body and soul to its limits.. to learn from how i feel...

..I believe in learning everyday something different. I believe everyone has something to teach us...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to host or be hosted- I have a VW Van in Europe and love hosting obliging couch surfers in there or in the tents I carry around! Anything goes- you can host much more effectively when you can move around too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Absolutely blown away so far!! The people i have met through couch surfing have been bright, interesting, deep individuals who really have a passion for hosting or suring..beyond just a free place to stay!

Interests

Love to sing (as forementioned)..am travelling with a guitar..which i am currently learning to play...

I am interested in different theories about the world, what different people have to say about things, and what they have experienced that has made them reach that conclusion.
I like to know what your thoughts are, explore them, wonder about them, analyse them, think them too sometimes or not otherwsie!
I love honesty. and learning.

I LOVE A CHALLENGE! I love to push my body and mind to all extremes!

I´m interested in travelling, of course. of course, you horse.

Music, Movies, and Books

Just read the Alchemist- that book is rather incredible- in fact- I feel a few life changes already. READ IT!
My other favourite book is "The Book Thief" By Markus Zusak.
OOh and my favourite author is Jonathon Saffron Foer- who wrote "Everything is Illuminated" -incredible, wacky, make-you-think-twice-or-more literature!

Movies :The Dreamers, Waking Life, Eagle vs. Shark. Stealing Beauty, För evigt, Vicky Christina Barcelona... love Flight of the Conchords too of course!!

Music -I am always on the search for new music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
