Favorite Book: Eckhart Tolle - The Power of Now

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Present at the Birth of my Son ... Emotional
Off piste snowboarding in La Grave .... Insane
Mountain Biking in Scotland Highland Nevis range ... Beautiful

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach you about NLP and how to overcome your limiting beliefs.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Depends on actual circumstances.

I like to know somewhat about Visitors before they crash on our couch and once we meet I like to get to know them better If I have little time to hang out. Sometimes hard with Kid at home. Parents will understand.
Usually happy to share dinner and good conversation over the cup of tea, glass of wine or beer.

I choose my Host based on the type of request I receive and I do read profiles.

I don't accept type of Request when people just tell me dates and ask for a couch without introducing themselves and telling little story about why they are coming over and why they want to stay with me and my family. Also I don't accept request if profile is not populated.

It's a shame lot of people just try to use Couchsurfing without really understanding whole concept of CS.
