CURRENT MISSION

to understand life better and how to live it well, to orientate myself towards meaning and wholesomeness

ABOUT ME

I've been pottering around now for quite a bit and still haven't found out what I'm supposed to be doing but it's a life all the same and it can be wonderful at times.

PHILOSOPHY

"One never reaches home, but wherever friendly paths intersect the whole world looks like home for a time" -
Hermann Hesse

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted mostly and surf sometimes, when I get the chance to travel

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All couchsurfing experiences have been good to date, It's easy to forget sometimes that there are so many friendly people in the world. Couchsurfing has allowed me to meet many of them.

Interests

Adding to my Music collection....I could spend hours just listening to music no matter what mood I'm in.

Playing guitar, rewatching old film favorites, walking aimlessly around cities, drinking strong coffee in nice places with nice people, devouring childish sweets that I still haven't grown out of, expanding my music collection, reading classic fiction, discussing philosophy

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love music. It is truly the greatest thing that we have....and live music has always thrilled me, I also like being adventurous from time to time but I'm perfectly happy to sit in the same old spot, enjoying the same old things.
