CURRENT MISSION

I like exploring places, people, languages and history.

ABOUT ME

I'm studious and quiet, but I like a pint or dram as well. I lived in the UK and Germany, among other places.
PHILOSOPHY

I'm a traditional sort of guy. I've been in universities
or research institutes for most of my life. Most people are interesting and basically good and decent.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll happily cook, or go to a restaurant or brew-pub.
I used to home-brew beer and need to get back to that.
I love discussing history and international events,
and like music of all types, both classical and at least
some pop. I'm not a fan of rap.

I like to meet people. They give meaning to life.

Interests

I like travelling, history and languages. I also like cooking. I'm into cycling, swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving and hiking/nature. I love exploring cathedrals and castles. I'm big into astronomy,
science fiction and especially Star Trek and Big Bang
Theory. Scouting.
