CURRENT MISSION

don't stop......keep going, travelling, flying, hiking, swimming....it might seem like a way of avoiding making real decisions, but even so its unbeatable

"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone..."

ABOUT ME

I have been living in Interlaken, Switzerland for 6 and a half years now, working in tourism. Most of my time is spent here either working, paragliding, riding up through the mountains or hiking and staying in huts. I have a strong urge to be busy most of the time and have to remind myself to have some downtime every now and then.....

I always tell people that I would never take strange, or weird as an insult compared to being referred to as normal or boring.......

PHILOSOPHY

keep things as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have had a lot of people come and stay with me in past years when I was living in Interlaken Switzerland. I was living in an old barn, and the idea really seemed to attract people. Unfortunately I had to move but I live in a very nice, central house in Interlaken. I love to be able to show people around where I live because even after nearly all this time, I am still completely fascinated by it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met a girl in hamburg, who invited me and two friends to stay at her place. so generous and hospitable, and thats where i learnt bout couch surfing. after i moved to ireland and signed up with my housemates, had some great experiences hosting people there and now in Switzerland....now I just aim to try and do some more surfing myself...
