About Me

I am actually 48 years old, but I feel sometimes 500, sometimes 5. I cannot decide. I tend to be independent. I love being alone, but people enjoy my company. I am quite silent but love talking. I am very passionate about my bike and nature. I stopped smoking 6 years ago after I had smoked for 25 years.
I usually avoid crowds. Tom Waits is one of my kings. Passion is the key.
"My flower is ephemeral," the little prince said to himself, "and she has only four thorns to defend herself against the world. And I have left her on my planet, all alone!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet people from different cultures although humanity had died.... / became extinct ages ago.

Interests

Good music, reading philosophy, books, poetry, nature, biking, trekking, gardening, writing, differences, against all using fossil fuels, against all crowds and popular things like pop music, hollywood films, best sellers, etc.
I am not interested in matters of consequences.
I can climb trees, most of them.
