CURRENT MISSION

To stick googly eyes on every inanimate object in sight...

ABOUT ME

The soul finds itself in the company of those who are similar.

PHILOSOPHY

THE GUEST HOUSE

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond."

Rumi

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been an avid Couchsurfer for many years, couchsurfing my way through many countries, meeting some wonderful humans along the way. And now, it is my time to return the favour. I'm excited to be on the other side :)

My house is a musical house, with an abundance of instruments and records. Musicians and/or music lovers especially welcome.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Fantastic with the exception of one bizarre experience in Florence.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I hitchhiked from Turkey to Norway in the middle of winter to see the northern lights...and saw a spectacular aurora show the first day I arrived.
