CURRENT MISSION

Opposing Conformity & Cooking for my Hosts

ABOUT ME

I have very simple pleasures, but rely on them very heavily in order to enjoy life. I could live in the Kitchen as long as there was a radio and good people with whom I could share it with.

PHILOSOPHY

Knowledge through expirence. I belive in the old way of life, where a human being´s sustanance can come from food, shelter, and interaction. I am simple. Connecting with others that share this idea can make our globalized world a better place one change encounter at a time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As the story goes...I was staying a Hostel here in Barcelona, before going to my semi'permanent apartment (living with a half-deaf professional mom, and semi-pro chef), and was told about the project. At first I didn´t quite understand the mission nor the intentions behind the site, but after understanding this whole beautiful thing, it put a smile on my face! Now I am trying to involve myself in this beautiful international project wherever and when ever possile.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Unoffically, gave couches to workers of my previous job for several nights in exchange for their couches at later times. Met some great folks in Barcelona, Berlin, Geneva, Lisbon. And now in South America.

I believe my best experiences within the project have taken place in the Kitchen. The cultures of many people manifest themselves most purely through food. From the way it’s bought, transported, cooked, served, eaten, and enjoyed. From this point we have an endless wealth of knowledge to share with one another . . . Let’s Cook!
