Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Uuh, I'll look one up in a nice philosophy book and let you know
ABOUT ME
Have I said I like traveling already?
PHILOSOPHY
Still working on that one ... I do know that I want to visit a lot of places though to try and help me figuring things out in this department!
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.
