CURRENT MISSION

Enhance global warming through friendship instead of CO2

ABOUT ME

For a long time I've been searching for a place out on the countryside to settle down and start practicing my ideas on cooperation and a more ecological lifestyle. Now I am finally here, and enjoying it!

PHILOSOPHY

Let life be a journey instead of a guided tour.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Even though I'm usually too busy for my own liking, I try to host surfers whenever possible, both because I believe in the idea but also for the joy of meeting new interesting people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a frequent traveller and hitch-hiker, who prefers to stay with local people when possible. I also joined a few local CS-meets.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm involved in 'Loesje', a poster organisation that started in the Netherlands, but that now has active members in about 25 countries. I can give Loesje workshops, a kind of brainstorm with this kind of texts as a result.

I am also a volunteer for JAK Medlemsbank, an interest-free, non-commercial bank working for a fair economic system and a sustainable development. I could share some thoughts about economy, ecology and creative ideas in general.
