About Me

I look forward to meeting you! If you have any questions for me, please ask.

The true meaning of life:
- we are visitors on this planet. we are here for ninety or one hundred years at the very most. During that period, we must try to do something good, something useful, with our lives. If you contribute to other people's happiness, you will find the true goal, the true meaning of life.

With this mentioned:
I like getting lost, meeting open minded people who are also up for an adventure and everything in between:
Road trips, train rides to the unknown, visiting friends who live in the Inaka (Japanese countryside), and enjoying others company. Listening to new music, trying new things, and helping others enjoy where I am living/visiting.

If there is one thing that makes it great for me, it's all of the people I've met through out North America, Europe and Asia.

Interests:
Hiking (tramping) mountains, soccer, watching new sports, running, yoga, contemporary art, congo drums, foooood, bright lights, camping, being one with nature, mexican food, thai food, danish food, polish sausages, japanese sushi train, hamburgers - IN N OUT - french toast (homemade), Life Cereal, ice cream, ravioli all make me very happy. Snow, sand, desert, volcanoes, jungles and forests; the thought of seeing a Kangaroo somewhere in Aussieland and a Kiwi in New Zealand … then the thought of eating Roo steak with friends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have only hosted a few people to date, but Kevin & Lucy, Sarah, Fumio, Signe and Pernille have left a big impression in my life. Made Nagaokakyo, Japan more interesting, too!

I wish more people tried couchsurfing, but regardless I love meeting and hanging out, hosting when I have a place that is suitable.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have loved couchsurfing everytime!

-loads of fun meeting people from country to country,
going out for coffee or vodka (polish/hungarian) and finding out about life in their (someone else's) country

-last but not least, all of the similarities we have in common and all of the differences that make traveling and exploring worth while

Interests

making someone else smile
enjoying others company and realizing people make the place

eating, who doesn't like to ? hmmm
coffee and tea
dancing randomly
relaxing
the moment - taking it in
music in other languages that makes me question what the artist might be saying
Yoga :)
getting lost in a new setting

German beer makes me smile
Nature is cool - especially when your cold and in the middle of a fjord!
big cities are amazing - Montreal, Copenhagen, and Bangkok are my favorite so far...
