CURRENT MISSION

To travel = not to escape from life, but to prevent life escaping from us

ABOUT ME

I adore global travel 2x one month per year + some weekendtrips in European cities. Addicted to a broad band of music, (quite radical)arts, philosophy, history, going out to a blast of a party occasionally, LAUGHING and other tales of the unexpected.
Just want to keep the adventure spirit and freedom of mind of the student years at art school alive, avoiding the mortgage trap ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that things are difficult. (Seneca)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A city reveals itself with so much more flavour and glow if you discover it with and through the eyes of CS-members actually living there, as opposed to the old idea of the "tourist"
