About Me

CURRENT MISSION

open a single serving container of yogurt without any sticking to the foil covering

ABOUT ME

I've met very nice people and had very good times couchsurfing, and if we meet, I'm sure it will be the same. If you send me a couch request, feel free to keep it short and personal.

But if you really want to know something about me, I eat the same thing for breakfast every day.

PHILOSOPHY

"Many expectations, many disappointments. Few expectations, many surprises."
-Confucius

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I work hard to be friendly and helpful to strangers - whether they're hosting me, sleeping on my couch, or just walking by me on the street.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's like anything good in life - the more you put into it, the more you get out of it.

Interests

Sailing, riding and fixing bicycles, cool youtube videos, camping, swimming in the ocean, cooking, gardening, wine, dressing up, dressing down.
