CURRENT MISSION

Create a Global platform where Artists, Scientists, Businesspeople and Workers meet and learn from each other.

IMPORTANT:

1)
AS I SEE MY SWEET LITTLE DAUGHTER MORE OFTEN THAN BEFORE, :-) AND SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE DOESN'T LIKE PEOPLE TO STAY OVER IF SHE IS AT MY PLACE, I CANNOT HOST AS MUCH AS I USED TO. BUT TRY ME, AND IF I HAVE TIME I AM VERY HAPPY TO WELCOME YOU.

2)
I GET SO MANY REQUESTS FOR COUCHSURFING, THAT IT WOULD BE A "FULLTIME" JOB TO ANSWER EVERYONE. THEREFORE I ONLY REACT WHEN I CAN HOST. SO DON'T TAKE IT PERSONAL IF YOU DO NOT GET A REPLY. IT ONLY MEANS THAT I AM TOO BUSY, PROBABLY WITH WORK OR MY DAUGHTER.
