About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hitting it hard on woodworking and metalworking. Currently on time-off with any kind of traditional job. Enjoying life, working on my projects. Mission life :)

ABOUT ME

Calm and easygoing, open minded and keen on learning.

PHILOSOPHY

To laugh often and much,
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children,
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends,
to appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others,
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch...
to know even one life has breathed easier
because I have lived.
this is to live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently only hosting as I spend a lot of time home and have plenty of room for visitors to stay :)
I would prefer entertaining my guests by staying in or going to a near-by place and have a talk, visit a park or a cafe and bicycle around town when it's warm outside. Talking, walking, bicycling and some table-top games would my kind of things to enjoy :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to radio, I like watching movies and I read a lot of instructional books and books about art. Those are fun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have travelled most of europe in recent years - many good memories. Seen the continent of africa from Gibraltar.
Otherwise I have done many things that matter to me - participated in some competitions, made some decent art.
The most amazing thing to experience is to give and to take. Master this craft and you will master life.
Please let me know if you did read my profile :)
