Overview
About Me
Old couch surfer hand here, it never gets boring. From the Netherlands, Cyprus, Panama but now permanently in Galicia, Spain.
I've been on couchsurfing since 2005, a lot has happened over the years. Now there's me, my wife and 2,9 children. We are about to move to Penadexo, a Free Commune in a formerly abandoned village. At the time of this writing (May 2024) it is suitable for camping. By the end of this year the first restored house shall have all the creature-comforts couchsurfers pray to encounter!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Great way to travel and to learn other countries, but most importantly to trust your fellow man.
Interests
The world (it's my playground)
- traveling
Music, Movies, and Books
I love watching movies with my guests. But I wouldn't know where to begin with a list of favorites. If you like movies and surf with me, I guarantee we'll watch something special.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Let' s see, it started out with being born in 1984. It was a cold winter evening and the snow lay like blanket on the silent city.....
Oh well, here are a few. Just don't use these as conversation points:
- Getting lost in the woods of Cambodia
- Crossing the continental divide through no-man's land
- Driving like a madman (usually on my own, don't worry)
- Built my own house
- Starting a sovereign community
Teach, Learn, Share
Non-agression principle, A = A,
Two things that could create heaven on earth
What I Can Share with Hosts
Honestly it makes a lot of difference when you visit me and how busy I am. You can read references: sometimes I can spend whole days, sometimes you can just enjoy the limited comforts of my home and do whatever you like (except for using metal kitchen utensils on my non-stick pans) One more thing: if you accept, you have to show. Couchsurfing has no cancellation policy.
