It's sometimes not so easy to say something about yourself, because maybe you have another view of yourself as others have .... ;-)

Well, I would name myself as a friendly, humurous, honest and tolerant person. I'm always curious about the way other people lead their life. No matter whether "normal" or unconventional. I like to make new experiences and I'm interested in alternative lifestyles.

Overall I think I'm very uncomplicated and easy to handle. Would describe my philosophy as a kind of "live and let live" and I try to lead an independent, not other-directed life and to enjoy every day.

Some years ago I quitted my old job and renovated my old farmer's house. I want to travel a lot, get to know more of our planet and enjoy its beautiful landscapes. So far I preferred doing that with my bike. Maybe I'll be hiking some day as well. The first tour had been 2013 through Andalucia, the second 2014 through the Extremadura and 2017 I visited Northern Spain, mostly Galicia, but parts of Asturia and Cantabria too. Hope to be able to visit much more countries in the next years.

Besides that I maybe find a useful/meaningful/worthwile work/job/acticity (however you call it).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's great to get to know people from different countries and cultures, hear something about their way of thinking and living, listen to travel stories and experiences.
