About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To never stop learning, never stop challenging myself, and never become complacent

ABOUT ME

Home is where I lay my head to sleep. I once heard that it takes learning to appreciate time and space where there is otherwise "nothing" and finding that you are not bored to see that you are relaxed, happy and alive.

I often enjoy the journey more than the destination. I love meeting new people, sharing our experiences and think there is nothing more charming to be invited to learn about a new culture from the eyes of the cultural embodiment.

Generally- but not always- I prefer off the beaten path places.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to drink bad wine, and have a bad manager.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love meeting new people and share even a little in their travelling experiences. For me, the overall impression my travels is greatly impacted by the people i meet on the way, so i hope that anyone that crosses my path leaves thinking its a great town. Right now i'm more of a host and coffee and drink city guide, but the time will come and i'll do my surfing so i look forward to meeting likeminded and open people. I find CS so giving!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great great great great!

Gives me the travel bug when i'm not travelling- all the time in some way satisfying it by listening to the adventures of my surfers.
