Hey there! Names Edmund, or just Ed ^^ I absolutely adore learning new things, taking on different challenges, and finding ways to make life more colorful.

Forget small-talk, I love deep and meaningful conversations, sharing stories and experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After reaching what had I set out to I sold my small business and was looking to embark on a new adventure. During the past year I learned a lot about myself and life in general. After tasting this newfound experience I was hungry to know and learn more about different people, their cultures, beliefs and see what life has to offer.

That has brought me through half of the world until I reached my halfway point - New Zealand, at which point I ran out of money. Now that I got my shmoney together I'm ready to rock and continue rolling through the other half of the world!! And that's what brings me to your city :p

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy listening to various music genres (good music is good music), but if I were to define myself with one it'd be House (cuz I don't have one ahaha jk). Some artists I like: RHCP, old Linkin Park, Glass Animals, Eminem, Kygo, Stephen, Nora En Pure, Rufus Du Sol, Lane 8, Modern Talking, Timberlake, and many many many more.

Sci-fi is my cup of tea (or movies I should say) but just like with music, I like good movies no matter the genre. The ones I still remember are: Inception, Interstellar, The Dark Knight trilogy, John Wick, I Am Legend, Suicide Squad, Project X, Lion King....

Books are boring! Right? NO! The ones I have read are mostly philosophical or psychological and include: The Alchemist, Count of Monte Cristo, How to Win Friends and Influence People, Thinking Fast and Slow, mBraining, King Warrior Magician Lower...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Where do I start...
Traveled with friends across Europe in a van older than myself
Ran with a bull in the ring
Hitchhiked through a whole country
Traveled 3 countries on a motorcycle with a person I met on a road
....something like that

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a thing or two about business, public speaking, engineering, economics & psychology and am willing to share my knowledge and experience.

As for learning, I like to keep to this quote:
“In my walks, every man I meet is my superior in some way, and in that I learn from him.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
