About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Developing and enjoying Life and our lives as well as trying to be a beneficial presence when appropiate

ABOUT ME

i'm open minded to everything that fits into my schematic of ingrained morals and conditioning, and tolerant of everyone who shares my naive beliefs blah blah blah...
please read my profile completely before thinking about coming to stay...
i have to carry all my groceries over a mountain to my home, that keeps me fit but i'm still happy if guests bring some food themselves

PHILOSOPHY

if i think about coffee that's enough to get me out of bed, and without any personal philosophy no-one will get out of bed so i guess mine is coffee... (-:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i offer a beautiful peaceful place to stay in the middle of nowhere.
if anyone wants to stay at my countryside home then you're welcome.
it would be better to collect you from bern or rueggisbergi because it will otherwise be difficult till impossible for you to find my home..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i've had a couple of guests now and was very pleased with the good company and interesting conversations, we went for some hikes and watched a lot of films in my cinema.. (-:
all of my guests until now brought no food or groceries with them and have relied on my generosity to feed them non-stop for the days of their stay.
food, like everything else in switzerland is expensive and i am currently unemployed, on an existence minimum budget.
the next person who doesn't bring food with them, i will eat :-P

Interests

very many varied interests, far too much to list off here.
but mainly i'm a passionate learner and i love good films, i have a huge collection and my own cinema at home.
i like to bake my own bread, make my own chutney and marmalade.
i'm learning to Tango, which i really love.. (-:
i know something useless but interesting about almost anything and have had such a whirlwind adventurous Life around Europe that i could probably fill a few books with all the nonsense i've been up to..

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived my Life; so far, so good.. !

Teach, Learn, Share

yes, i like and do all of these all the time,
sharing is after all caring.. (-:
i'm also a qualified english teacher.
