CURRENT MISSION

Possibly trying to read Finnegans Wake

ABOUT ME

I am not too sure about what I am, but a few things I can say for sure:
- I like listening to interesting people. And talking a lot.
- I like dogs and cats.
- Cats don't like me.
- I tend to get enthusiastic about things others aren't necessarily interested in.
- I am a vegetarian, but I often prefer to cook vegan.
- I buy most stuff second-hand and I sometimes choose books by their smell.
- I feel guilty if I don't like someone right away.
- I would like to know much more than I do.

PHILOSOPHY

Probably sounds like a cliché, but I think that there are only two things in life that are essentially important:1. Live and let live. 2. Love. As much as possible. Every kind of love that is possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After surfing a few couches, mainly in Scotland, and hosting my first surfers, I have to say: I love it. Everyone was nothing but nice, generous and interesting.
