Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm keen on meeting people from all over the world. I know my way around Cologne pretty well, and can give tips if I can't take you there myself. Whether it's a coffee, cocktail, or boat cruise. I'll help out where and when I can. :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

There are some really amazing people on this platform. It is great to meet them online and in person.

Interests

Life is a journey, and the obstacles in the way - ARE the way.
I love discovering more about myself, and getting to know people from all walks of life.
This includes various interests, such as making/creating, learning about technology and how it can change our world for the better. Philosophy, as well as simply settling down with a glass of red and some cheese and "chewing the fat"

• cocktails
• coffee
• boating
• socializing

Music, Movies, and Books

I love listening to Jazz, Folk, Top 40, Swing/Electro-Swing, basically anything that you can "cut a rug" to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I heard of the pain and suffering happening in Banda Aceh, Indonesia after the Tsunami of 2005, I quit my job and volunteered for 4 months to help other volunteers get through the red tape involved in getting to the disaster zone. I used my communication skills, my charm and wit, and pure dumb luck to find out what was needed and get it done.

One can find amazing aspects to many things...the most impressive thing I've seen would have to be the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi. The most amazing thing I've done, to decide to stop thinking too much about thIngs and start doing them.
