About Me

ABOUT ME

I like to keep busy. I am inquisitive, respectful, analytical. I love to read, eat healthy, play football, run, squash and cycle etc, a lot. I value integrity and humility highly, in a non-religious context.

PHILOSOPHY
Best things in life come free. The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don't have.

"What stops people from becoming autonomous, fulfilled and ultimately happy is their refusal to open themselves to experiences that are new and unfamiliar, and thus potentially threatening to their sense of self." Carl Jung.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I might be able to host people till mid September 2019, although I am busy with doing things around my house, so with little time to spare to be with the guests.
It is interesting to meet people from different walks of life and places, exchange ideas and experiences, and the anticipation of this.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Maybe more than one ;)
planted over 2500 trees;
looked after a toddler ;) grizzly bear for a couple of months;
ran London Marathon a few times;
have a 23 year old daughter, who is amazing .

Teach, Learn, Share

I am curious. I love to discover what makes people tick.

I believe, in a globalized world, man's ethics should not be based on badly designed religions, which effectively delude and divide people, causing mistrust, but sympathy, education, humanity and encompassing social ties.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A bottle of wine and listenning ears.
A double bed in the living room (converted sofa).
Bathroom/toilet, kitchen etc and some food.
Access to Wifi and internet.
A lift to the train station, when I am around.
