Overview
About Me
ABOUT ME
I guess I'm quite a cheery person and am always looking for adventure. A cliche but true statement; life really is short, so why take it too seriously? That doesn't mean I don't enjoy a serious discussion, but I do tend to liven things up with a joke here and there. Be warned; most of my jokes do tend to be a bit lame :).
PHILOSOPHY
I'm developing my own philosophy as I go along, adding new insights and thoughts that I pick up from people I meet and places I travel to.
I've come to the conclusion life... is about BOOZE and PARTEEEHHH!! (told you: lame joke)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I think couchsurfing is a truly awesome initiative. Many times have I met the greatest of people and made the best of friends through couchsurfing. During my long-term stays in Spain as well as Scotland, couchsurfing meetings turned out to be a great way to make friends in a new city.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have hosted some people. Surfed only once in Belgium and it was a brilliant experience!
Interests
The things I do are usually aimed at discovering other cultures and meet new people. So I'd say my overall interest is people! I didn't choose to study social sciences for nothing! :)
- traveling
- social science
Music, Movies, and Books
I am a sucker for movies. The screen is my biggest friend and enemy (for my social life). I don't really have particular favorites but I would say I love black humor the most. South Park for example, and Sideways.
Concerning books, I recommend you read Shantaram. READ IT! :)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
That would be Chinese acrobats. Man....I mean...man..
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach. Well, I taught English in China. I could teach you what a monkey eats. Share. All I have to share is my sometimes twisted imagination. Provokes either grins or resentment. And learn. My brain could do with a bit of learning, plenty of RAM left to fill up!
