CURRENT MISSION

Less is more...

ABOUT ME

I like smiling. And I prefer to do that from dusk till dawn. It's a great feeling, seeing it and doing it myself.Things gets much more easier. Most of the time I'm rather optimistic. But I'm also into a more serious talk. With a laugh now and then of course.
I rather like to talk to somebody then to something. I'm not that materialistic. I try to keep my ecological footprint as small as possible. I don't have a car, I cannot miss my bicycle, my electricity comes from the wind, I like to buy second hand and try to recycle as much as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

Less is more...can mean that people do not need all this material stuff one can buy on every streetcorner. At least in the Western world... For example, in Africa, you can buy a smile...and it's free!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new here, but I want to get more experienced...

Interests

Good food, from all over the world. As long it is no meat! I like cooking.
Music makes life sweeter.
Reading my newspaper everyday. I want to know what happens in the world.
And if I don't want to know, I go to the cinema.
Architecture makes the world more beautiful. Not always, but then I close my eyes.
And travelling of course. It's a great way to broaden your point of view, I think.
