CURRENT MISSION

To get out of the rat race

ABOUT ME

A normal guy who have traveled a lot and prefer the simple things in life. I am interested in foreign cultures and people, but in discussions and thinking as a whole as well. I love the opportunityto meet people from all over the world that Couchsurfing brings.

PHILOSOPHY

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone and is too precious to throw away on routine

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the concept of hosting and have done so a lot more than I have surfed (probably over 100 people, but far from everyone leaves references). I have recently gotten my new apartment in working order and am therefore hosting again. I have also had the privilege to have surfed a number of couches abroad. I try to spread the concept of CS to as many people as I can.
