Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To live a happy life while not being the only person in it
ABOUT ME
I'm clever, friendly and I have a splendid sense of humour. I enjoy having a conversation on topics considered difficult. Also, I enjoy turning a moment into a situation comedy.
You can call me a tourist. I haven't found THE thing to do in life so I've a few.
I'm a doctor. I used to be a model. I fix computers. Actually, I like fixing all kinds of things. I don't dare say I fix people. Sometimes I'm fixing the world (as if it's broken).
PHILOSOPHY
I have to spend my time somehow. Might as well enjoy it.
Perhaps I'll assign a purpose to my life after having lived it. Perhaps not.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
My purpose here is to feel alive by discovering new things and places and sharing experiences with people.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have used CS several times while hitch-hiking to Greece and other countries. Also, I've helped my housemates entertain their couchsurfers.
Interests
Most of all I enjoy actively participating in humor.
I love figuring out unorthodox connections. Like why do pirate captains always have a parrot on their shoulder? I suppose in order to avoid scoliosis from losing an arm. :)
I enjoy discovering quirks in people.
People say I give wicked back rubs.
I spend lots of time reading about history from Wikipedia.
I like playing around with computers and hacking them. To make it work better or only because it's exciting.
I enjoy strategy games. Chess is my all-time favorite. But also computer games like Civ, Europa Universalis and Heroes series.

Music, Movies, and Books
I enjoy reading books from Romain Gary, Andre Maurois, Oscar Wilde and Kurt Vonnegut.
I adore Tarantino's movies.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have seen a life of a chicken from an egg to scattered feathers.
I have seen a life of a cat from a blind kitten to an empty pillow.
I have seen a life of cows from twin calves to a big hole in the ground.
I have yet to see a human life from beginning to end.
Teach, Learn, Share
The best way to hitch-hike in dark is to lighten up your hand with a flashlight. Sooner or later someone will stop their car and ask "WTF are you doing???"
What I Can Share with Hosts
Liquorice and reindeer ham.
