ABOUT ME

an average joe, with too much energy.
life at its best when drinking beer after parachuting, stand barefoot on the telephone-cord, sneezing several times in a row, sit quite next to a friend, hand in an exam, dream about being a helicopter pilot, feel the cold bite your cheeks off, hassle flatfishes when diving, not exercise when you should, reel off cranial nerves, play with walkietalkies, fall asleep on a bus, tell friends why you like them, drive a car alone

PHILOSOPHY

challenge your fears!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

couch surfing has since long been in my periphery with friends both surfed and hosted, but I never gave any serious thoughts until I went travelling with chris and amy throw namibia & botswana. the beauty and geniality of the idea struck me like lightening. my belief is that all ancient societies had a embedded hospitality, an unassailable will to take care of lost souls far away from home. this has at large been lost when personal integrity has grown in pace with our cities. couch surfing brings the ancient hospitality to life again, in a modern setting!

Teach, Learn, Share

large chunks of the year went by just watching the sunrise and sunset, and who knew too if the subsistence man did not prefer this way? it was easy, almost comparable to the life of the idle rich, except that the poor man starved the year round - "when rain clouds gather", Bessie Head
