I prefer being outside over bars and clubs. I like improving things and helping people and I'd describe myself as respectful, thoughtful and honest. I'm very upfront if there is a problem – I don't get angry, but I clearly state when something is not okay, and as I take responsibility for my actions, I expect others to take responsibility for their actions as well.

I have an open-minded personality and am very respectful of other people. I can’t stand smoking, so I only host non-smokers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to contribute to a world where people can live without having to rely on the monetary system, so offering a place to sleep and stay while traveling is something that follows from that naturally.

Since recently, I live alone (without a housemate), so I have an extra room for up to four people to sleep in and re-activated my account.

Interests

Cycling, hiking, running, being in nature, listening to music, life in general, reading science articles. Also competitive Super Smash Bros. Melee (although I prefer to research it instead of playing nowadays).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everything about life is amazing, I can’t pin it down to a single thing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Self-made deodorant that lasts about 2-5 days and is more healthy than store-bought deodorant. I gave it to many people and all of them love it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Kitchen and kitchen tools (as long as you clean up properly afterwards!), bathrooms of course, garden, perhaps a bicycle
