CURRENT MISSION

is to collect moments, not things.

ABOUT ME

I'm definitely open-minded, pretty darn nice (if I say so myself) and I can be fun at scheduled indoor activities. I do use irony sometimes.

In all seriousness now, I'm as easy going and nice as the next person, nothing special here, but I think most people are nice anyways.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in being direct and honest, kind and nurturing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If you'd like to go out for a coffee or whatever- I can show you around this teeny tiny town. If you need to crash somewhere and are a nice guest, you're welcome to stay with me as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed succesfully in Erlangen/Germany-good times!

Surfed in Brittany/France for two weeks- amazing, only good experiences!!I met so many great people and had at least one impressive experience each day. It's downright ridiculous how great it was.
My sister has surfed and hosted many times and loves it!

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Music, currently: Fiona Apple, The National, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Thrice, HAIM, Samuel Harfst ...I listen to a lot of music from a lot of different genres, it's hard to pick only a few favorites.

Books: mostly 'specialist' literature because I like learning about how to do stuff/how stuff works, sometimes novels or a historic novel here and there. :-)

Movies, some all time favorites: Harold&Maude, LotR, Gone with the Wind, Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau ...I don't have enough time to watch enough movies anymore.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ireland does have pretty amazing landscapes, I have to say. I'm a sucker for landscapes and nature in general.

Traveling can be the most amazing experience when it is with someone you really like, but also when you are doing it alone.
Obviously birth and families are big miracles.

As I've stated above, I'm really curious. The more I'm exploring something, the more my admiration for it grows.

Teach, Learn, Share

I LOVE to sit with and share food with people.

I like LEARNING by getting to know them and about where they come from, what moves them, who they are.

I'm open about TEACHING by sharing from my life what they are interested in learning about.
