If you send me a couchsurfing request, please tell me why you picked me to become your host. What is it on my profile that got your attention? Why do you think we'll have a social click? I'm offering a place to stay, but not to just anybody. You should be critical too. :-))

Also: i like independent people who go out and about. If i have time, for sure i'd like to spend time with you - that's the whole idea of couchsurfing. But most often i am quite busy. So only send me a request if you are okay with not hanging out together all the time.

Big turn-off: guests who stay in the whole day, being lazy. Better go to a hotel if that's your plan.

ABOUT ME

Well balanced, gay, no major issues, quite easy, laid back. I get along with almost everybody, though if there's no mutual interest, i find it hard to keep the conversation going. But hey, if you're travelling around, there are plenty of conversation topics. :-))

I'm a social introvert. Meaning that i like the company of (a few) people, but i also need alone time. And i do appreciate sharing quiet moments.

PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY
Don't worry
I'm happy

TRAVELING
Been around in Europe mostly. Still a lot to explore. Albania is very high on my list.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Are you a gay guy and do you want to stay at a place where you can be yourself, without being frowned upon? My place is like that.

I have a very nice, big, comfortable couch, perfect for a good night's rest. I also have a double bed.

Interests

Reading and writing! And also: friends, family, guys, volleyball, swimming, movies, theatre, modern ballet, graphic design, art, opera, philosophy, etc.

Do you have a spare minute?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made my dream come true: writing and publishing a novel (a historical novel about a devastating flood in Germany and the Netherlands in 1799).

Teach, Learn, Share

It's not WHERE you are that matters most, but WITH WHOM.
