About Me

I'm curious and like to understand.
I like rain, mountains, forests, water.
I love my little dog who comes with me everywhere on my motorbike, bicycle, or along while skateboarding.
I like structure and relationships ... physics, engineering, social nets, economics, organisms, etc.
I play guitar but also like completely synthetic music like various electronic genres. Metal, electroswing ... things that make me move or just earcandy.

In a relationship you have to enjoy the process of arguing because conflict is inevitable and pretending there's no difference leads to resentment. In other words your arguing styles must be compatible if you're to maintain a happy truce.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love cycling and trains and although my hammock and dog are great companions, I sometimes need to stay warm and dry and escape the mosquitoes . And although my dogish is getting pretty good, conversation in a human language that I understand does break the sense of isolation created by travelling in remote places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

An amazing experience was to sail for the first time on my own boat (that I personally fitted to insure it will float through) crossing the North Sea alone... It was a combination that was scary, exciting, and surreal all at the same time ...

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a little about everything... I have a decent understanding of how a lot of things work ... and am eager to learn more.

What I Can Share with Hosts

-books (I have a pretty large collection of audiobooks and ebooks)
-my sweet doggie
-herbal teas
-insight? (don't wanna sound pretentious but if you have a dilemma I'm willing to attempt to solve it)
