I'm Jesse, a social open minded guy, interested in many things and eager. often up for some adventure, learning new stuff and meeting new people. Welcoming visitors and definitely not minding incentives to travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm keen on travelling, meeting new people and finding myself in unexpected situations. Couchsurfing is a great way to combine these three things and, to be honest, travel cheaply as well. Since evolving from student to labouring citizen the latter has become less relevant though. Even more so I'm eager to help out other travellers when I'm able.

Interests

Many sports, preferably outdoors and not limited to a pitch.
Backpacking, preferably impractical and with a vague sense of time and direction.
Reading, preferably Old Penguin books with folded corners and underlined words
Sketching, preferably own inventions which I will never be able to build.
Designing, preferably things that actually make the world a bit better.
Playing Games, preferably a bit more tactical board games with friends.

Music: Not a favorite, but like a lot of it. From Leonard Cohen to Avicii. I'm for sure better at listening then playing.

Movie: The Shawshank Redemption

Book: Le Petit Prince
