CURRENT MISSION

Re-discovering the spice of life after a long break!

ABOUT ME

At heart, I'm a traveller (I must have belonged to a nomadic tribe in one of my past lives!) but in practice I'm not travelling much these days. But I'm always open for it as far as possible. I'm a father of two (boys: 5 and 11) and have the kids with me half of the time, so these are the weeks it's less easy for me to host. The other week, you're welcome! When I find time, I enjoy gardening food (I participate in a communal permaculture food forest project, and have had several allotments in the past), cooking food, being out in nature, a dose of sport (these days reduced to some beach volleyball on the few days it doesn't rain) and going to party every so often (all sorts of non-commercial parties and music..)

PHILOSOPHY

be the change you want to see
behold but one in all things

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I like meeting interesting people from all over the world, and a lot of the interesting people seem to be travellers :-)
When I travel myself, I like to avoid hotels and anonymous generic spaces & places, and rather look up nature and personal contacts with real people..so CS has proven to be an ideal medium!
