I'm generally pretty quiet. I enjoy socialising in small groups, and am not uncomfortable with silence or hanging out alone.
I particularly love (barefoot) running, being and feeling healthy, the outdoors, reading, living simply, minimalism, buddhism,....
I really enjoy good vegan/vegetarian food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people.
To help people.
To couchsurf.

If you're a genuine member of the CS community, even though we may not share the same interests, I might still be up for hosting you. I understand that sometimes you just need a place to sleep, and I'm happy to help out genuine CSers if I can.

Interests

I try to maintain a healthy, balanced and sustainable life.
I wish that I laughed more.
I love eating, and I try not to be too greedy.
I love a good beer, but keep that in moderation.

I enjoy living as simply and sustainably as possible. I have strong interests in running, minimalism and buddhism.

Teach, Learn, Share

When you talk, you are (generally) only repeating what you already know. But if you listen, you may learn something new. - Dalai Lama

I've been around the world a bit, and am happy to share my knowledge and experiences, and hear all about yours.
