Overview
About Me
Traveling was always my passion since I was a young man.
Later we traveled often with my family and my two daughters in Europe, South America, and Asia
Now I am retired and ready to travel around the world.
I am a single traveler ready to explore the world, wherever it will be.
My special interest is to know Asia and its people
Even though I am already 65 years old I want to explore this planet.
I am a nonsmoker and I love good food and good company.
I like to be well organized in any situation. I am friendly and open to all kinds of activities
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am new to CS but it's very cool to find new contacts in unknown places.
I think that every place and every person in CS has something magical
Couchsurfing is one of the best ideas to travel around the world on a low budget.
As a backpacker, I want to know about all kinds of activities with interesting people at some nice places.
I want to see this world on a low budget but high action together with interesting people.
I have an open personality and I like to be independent in planning and traveling
