CURRENT MISSION

Why should I have a mission? I guess I want to enjoy life, but also give back at least some of what I get.

ABOUT ME

I'm a cheerful, slightly intellectual, and generally friendly person. I like to play cards or board games, wander around in the city or in the nature, I enjoy listening to music (indie), making music (mostly guitar), watching movies, ... and meeting interesting people.

PHILOSOPHY

Hmm, I favour a sort of positive existentialism as you can find it in Milan Kundera's 'Infinity'. That means: Infinity lies in the moment, in the joy of beauty or of being with people I like.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Because of my couch situation, I am currently mostly showing people around my neighborhood (which is quite nice).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted Vicky from Vienna, stayed at Jeff's place in Ukiah and at Kirsten's and Jim's in Napa, met Cristina and Katya in New York a few times, and participated in a few couchsurfing events in NYC.
