About Me

CURRENT MISSION

There are no strangers in the world, only friends I have yet to make. My mission is to make the world a friendlier place.

ABOUT ME

Easy going, down to earth, gay, like to get away on weekends and longer trips abroad. Interested in all things regarding sustainabilty and climate change. I had the privilege of receiving training from Al Gore's The Climate Project this year so I'm inspired to do all I can to save the world - from ourselves! I like to get my hand dirty with community activities.

PHILOSOPHY

We've only got one world so we better look after it. So the more you see of it, the more people you meet from around the globe, the more you should appreciate it - for all its beauty and experiences it has to offer! The more you see, the more you do, the more you have lived.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only couchsurfed once. Had a great time in Shanghai with couchsurfers who stayed with me a few months earlier. I've hosted more! I enjoy meeting people from all parts of the world, telling me their stories, about their home town etc. I live vicariously through them!

Interests

Greening the world, movies, travelling (of course!)
