I'm a nature-lover who does not shun people or books - rather oldfashioned though.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new friends and sharing the luck I have of living in an ancient house in a beautiful though remote area

Music, Movies, and Books

All classical stuff, especially Bach and Schubert (no, not Beethoven, but yes, Beatles) and bird songs in the morning...
Twelve angry men, As it is in heaven and Le tout nouveau testament are my alltime favorites - though I would not leave Fanfare unmentioned, as it was filmed in our village, way back when it looked just the same as now
Books? yeah, Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Yourcenar, Lagerlöf, and lonely planet guides ...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Finished the Eleven City Tour (210 km) in 1986 and 1997 on the wooden skates of my great-grandfather.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know about wildlife, literature and music, though my deepest interest is in the human soul and its universe.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am interested in sharing ideas and practical knowledge - I have a creative touch and can be a good listener.
