Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I'm travelling the world, I usually use hostels. After many positive stories of friends and fellow travellers, I'm keen to experience couchsurfing.
I am especially interested in this way making travelling a more personal experience, by meeting more local people.

Interests

Lucky to make my hobby my work and now working as a diver. Next to that fallen in love with sailing. Of course an interest in discovering this beautiful and exciting world we love in.
As having studies at a technical university, it may not surprise you that I have many geek interests: planes, cars, boats, audio/video equipment, gadgets.

Music, Movies, and Books

As an old fart of course I disapprove of any music made in the last 20 years ;-) But pretty wide range of music interests. And still waiting for someone who can show me how to like reggae.
Always travel with some hard disks with movies; and two will never be deleted: Top Gun and The Big Lebowski.
