Why I'm on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I participate by making my couch available to weary travellers. But you can also stay if you're not weary =) Apart from that, I mostly participate by surfing other people's couches! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I had a great time surfing couches in Japan, the US and France. I always met nice, interesting and friendly people who opened my mind to new thoughts and ways of living and who give me insight into their countries.

One Amazing Thing I've Done

* Sailing a 26-meter-long ship * Hugging a big redwood tree * Night-time skiing in Utah * My first search & rescue mission, doing night ops in a swampy area in First Landing State Park * Swimming with turtles, sharks and rays while snorkeling in the US Virgin Islands * Sunset as Uluru

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a couple of things about guitar playing - but then again, I can also still learn a lot about that. I share my couch and my thoughts, if you're interested in the latter =)
