CURRENT MISSION

Find the zone - the travelling zone even if I can't do the big backpack trip...

ABOUT ME

So I am a Canadian living an working in Germany for the last 8 years. I am no stranger to travelling even if I don't do it as often as I should could would whatever. I'm pretty chillin and while all my colleagues were laughing at CS I was thinking that's the coolest thing I have ever heard of.

Right now I am trying to discover eastern europe in all its glory...I want to live and breathe the history but also the future and potential of this lovely place...

honest, fair, loves a good discussion on just about anything just as long as it remains a discussion and doesn't regress...

PHILOSOPHY

Et hät mal immer jot jejange
Et kütt wie et kütt

That's Kölsch (the language of colonge) for
It's always gone alright
It happens like it happens

In other words, just chill; everything has always been ok and it going come like it comes whatever you do...

happiness is a state of mind not and external event.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

couch is available and I would like to take advantage of a couch somewhere...have decided to start going to the meetings in cologne...was just at one in sofia and it was amazing - hope my home town of choice can do the same...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was in Boston visiting a german girl who was an Au Pair (I ended up moving to Germany for said girl - it lasted about 5 years) and I didn't have a place to stay. I was walking alone the beach of a lake (I think) north of boston (Salem) when a guy saw me and asked if I wanted a beer. They were going to have a party and I was early. I explained my situation and he said why don't you stay here. In this big old mansion cottage thing. I stayed about a week because they wouldn't let me leave.. what an experience.
