About Me

ABOUT ME

Enthousiastic, hard working, honest, sometimes a bit stubborn and not the easiest talker, but with a good heart. Enjoy new experiences, different surroundings and breathtaking scenery.

PHILOSOPHY

This would end up being a load of cliches, the main theme being respect in all it's meanings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To be honest it's not that easy to participate with a busy lifestyle and a hobby that takes up a lot of time. Mainly my girlfriend organises the Couchsurfing requests and visits. We host when we can and had some lovely people over for one or more nights. Couchsurfing allowed us to make some of the most memorable trips to places we may have otherwise never visted.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Popping by Strasbourg for an evening an getting such a warm welcoming, including a long walk and talk around town, great memory.
Wintercamp in Prague, 4 days of partying with all notions of the world in a beautifull town, no wonder they call it a second Vienna.
Nowhere festival, sharing the ride and experience with Swiss and English folks.

Interests

Very engaged into model airplanes (F5B for anyone who knows what I'm on about), planning to go to the world championship in Sept 2012.
Boating, music, walks in (rough) nature.
