CURRENT MISSION

My current five-year mission is to see more of the world, and to get to know my own country better.

ABOUT ME

I'm a spontaneous time optimist. I also consider myself a general optimist, most of the time.

PHILOSOPHY

"It could be worse"

Whatever happens, the bad times pass, and you will come out stronger on the other side. I also find that you grow far more and evolve more as a person when facing hardships, than you do always enjoying good times.

For me what makes life worthwhile is people, leaving impressions on one another, simply enjoying. It's amazing how good a time you can have if you only share it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really like this thing. I haven't participated too much yet, but I aim to both host and surf.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - primarily as a tool for learning languages

Music - at the moment jazz by Dave Weckl(Band) and Kanye West's album "808's and Heartbreak", which has become my best friend during long plane and train trips. Not to forget the undying classic "Bra Vibrationer", by Kikki Danielsson ;-)

Reading - At the moment I'm looking to improve my spanish, so I'm reading all the spanish I can find. In english I have firmly enjoyed George R.R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire", an umpthology I'm unsure will ever finish.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first time crossing the Pacific by ship I saw dolphins playing with the ship's bow. While we were doing our 20-something knots! I just stood amazed watching these beautiful creatures. It was something else.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to. Sometimes though it can be hard to come to a point of sharing with someone. Right now I have some knowledge in a couple of languages, and some in various martial arts. I don't mind sharing!
