CURRENT MISSION

Try something new at least once a year

ABOUT ME

I'm generally an outgoing person. Sometimes with tendencies of shyness, depending on the situation. I'm open minded, but also a bit critical. Quirkiness can occur. I attempt to be including, considerate and fun. And last, but not least; I try to enjoy life as much as possible by traveling and meeting new people, and by attempting to not take things too seriously.

PHILOSOPHY

Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately my current living situation prevents me from hosting people, so my contribution so far is has been to surf peoples couches, and tell the world about my strange, introvert people from the north.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Both very good, and not that good.

Interests

I love surfing, longboarding, sea kayaking, reading, hiking, photography and cooking for friends. And traveling of course.

I really dislike couples events, techno music and generalizations.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time I managed to stand up on a surf board on a wave and actually ride ut for a little while must definitley be one of my awestruck moments. This happened in Costa Rica.

An other one was when I was staying at a surf camp south west of France. One night me and a friend went down to the beach to watch the sunset. We wanted to take one of these cheezy posing pictures with a surfboard in the sunset, and we asked this random guy if we could borrow his bord. After taking the photos he invited us to sit with his friends on the beach. There were no light,so we could see all the stars. One of the guys friends was a musician, and played songs on request. While I was sitting there on the beach watching shooting stars and feeling the good vibes from all the nice people around me, and I would definitly say I gelt awestruck.
