Hithchhiked where ever I went. I love to meet people like this, it's like a positive selection of people that are enough open minded to open their car to a stranger, so when ever you are, even if its' difficult sometimes to get a lift, you always find a beautiful way to go on on your path. Just need to stay mentally positive, it will always work out!!! And it's great to know!
I lived One year in France, learned french, came back with a old Mercedes from 1978 and trying right now to put it back to life!
And in the same time, discovering Yoga and doing a regular job(first time in many years! =) ), as a baker, to put away money to finance a world hitchhiking tour 2018!
Can't wait to start! I want to meet loads of magnificent people! =)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I never had the chance to host someone, but was hosted many times (see my references). Every time, it was just wonderful to find another open minded person, that wanted to share a little amount of their life with me, as I do, when I look for a couch.
For example, I have been already 3 weeks in Amsterdam, dumpster diving and being hosted by some lovely couchsurfers, without spending money, apart from a money for a museum card! It was just great!

Interests

Get in touch with people as much as i can, every day in any moment. See where people and life will bring me. Make always my best.
Hitchhiking. Sharing.
More specific: selfproduction, living green concious and and in an ethical way, as much as possible. Think always about what our presence on this planet really means.
