CURRENT MISSION

to meet people I wouldn't otherwise and engage in long conversations

ABOUT ME

I'm a Linux geek who likes to cycle tour (and commute). Fixing my bike up is fun. I enjoy backpacking in the mountains when I can. Currently looking forward to my 14th (!) year here in Sweden.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not in any hurry to die, but it's not like I'm going to try to avoid it, either. ;') (...As if anyone could.) I want to have contributed something with my time here, and I want to be remembered more fondly than not. :-P

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not sure yet. I got hooked up with CouchSurfing because of a friend who's into one of the special interest groups.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've slept on plenty of couches and floors. I'll sleep nearly anywhere if I feel safe!
