CURRENT MISSION

enjoying life

ABOUT ME

I enjoy travelling, getting to know different people, cultures and football grounds.

Like some famous North Corean leader, I like looking at things. I believe I can get more exited ;)

I can be a bit grumpy sometimes, but easily cheer up when looking at funny animals (no dogs or horses)

PHILOSOPHY

At the end of the tunnel there is always light - it just might be a train.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf, will be an easygoing guest with low level demands.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

until now I had only very positive experiences. Everyone who put me up was friendly, welcoming and helpful, often also showing me around their hometown, providing an insider's view to the place

Interests

I enjoy looking at things, but might be more enthusiastic about it than the late North Corean leader (compare: http://kimjongillookingatthings.tumblr.com/)

Among the things I like to look at are the following:

- footballers kicking a ball (preferably including FC St. Pauli or AFC Wimbledon)
- rock musicians performing live (the heavier or punkier, the better)
- actors acting (both on theatre stages and on screens)
- stones (when put together, as in castles, cottages and cathedrals)
- colours (in any sort of artwork, displayed in galleries and 'vandalist' street art)
- animals and plants (as in wildlife and nature, ancient forests, with or without elves)
note: I do not like dogs and horses

At some of these things I look at while riding a bicycle. I like to look at it, too, but enjoy the actual cycling more.
