About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To read all the pages of the greatest novel called earth!

ABOUT ME

I'm Easy going, Don't worry about to much, and just kinda enjoy my life day by day.
I feel most comfortable in environments that are completely foreign to me, where all inputs are new and I can feel like a 3 year old again and be fascinated by the world surrounding me. Some say ignorance is bliss, yet personally i don't want to be plagued by the thought of what i might have missed out on.
While i am a little reserved at times and like to simply chill and take in what surrounds me, whether it's other peoples story's, world views, or simply the fact of being at that moment in time, I do enjoy firing up the engines and converting spontaneous dreams into action filled adventures.

PHILOSOPHY

Look around, Open your eyes and mind. we live in a world of diversity, take it in, Appreciate it and grow with it, yet don't conform.
Spend some time reflecting upon yourself, Its interesting what you can learn.
My main philosophy in life is not to take it to serious,(even though a part of me tries to fight this) it's to short for that!
And finally i want to be able to sit back when its time to die with a bucket of pop corn and nice cold beer and enjoy the show that will enfold as the final rush of DMT sends me to the resting grounds!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I give a little and i take a little, leaving in harmonic balance!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've recently hosted a bunch and have really learned to appreciate it. Live often takes its constant forms when you spend loads of time working and studying. Hosting really helps me get out of this rut and helps me find more new things about the town I live in, In addition meeting new people is always a nice way to broaden your horizons.

Interests

I grew up moving through europe, never really settling for a long time, So I quickly get antsy to see new places and experience new Adventures.
I consider myself having a larger scale version of attention disorder, leading me to constantly find new hobbies, or current fascinations
While at times i can be satisfied by sitting in nature and enjoying the peace of natures pace or simply its fascinating complexity. I also like to seek out the more fast passed, action packed thrills whether it is downhill mountain biking, snowboarding, skateboarding, climbing or hitting clubs with bright flashing lights and loud bass lines.
I can also enjoy the complexity of deep philosophical conversation whether at the top of the morning or later in the evening over a nice fermented bevy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Berlin has really left an impression on me in recent years, from its endless street art to its abundance in liveliness, there is simple always something new to discover!
I have also learned to really treasure my trips in the Alaskan outdoors, it is rare in this world that you can wake up in the middle of nowhere surrounded only by a few chosen friends while watching nature take on its mesmerizing pace and having no choice but to go along with it!
