About Me

Dedicated to my friends, family and favorite customers on the job :-)
Very motivated, with lots of energy, I like to 'move' fast and efficiently. It implies I can be unpatient..
I'm always in for a good laugh, with or without a drink. I like cooking and love eating; to compensate this (and just to feel good) I go jogging in the park.
What else? Basically I'm very organized, but if something occurs out of the blue, I will not have a nervous breakdown. I think practical and really fast. I don't have stress.
Like most people I have good and bad days, but never in extremes.

PHILOSOPHY

I live here and now, both feet on the ground. No thoughts about where we come from and were we will go 'after'. I'm a non-believer in the religious way, but anyone from any belief is welcome here, of course.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It has been a real pleasure to host and exchange travel/life experiences with my guests until now. I've found myself more generous then I expected to be (I think). CS gives a lot in return for ones personality.
It's astonishing how you just meet and 5 minutes later you're talking like you've known each other for 10 years..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Somewhat. Initially mainly hosting (with pleasure) due to lack of time to travel myself. All really positive except for the "3 French crew” that decided to be negative while I gave them a last minute roof over their heads.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driving a van ON the frozen Baikal Lake.
Having shashlyk on a desolate small island in Onega Lake, Russia.
Watching the brightest starry sky ever sitting next to a tent on a hill top at 3500m altitude in the Kyrgyz middle of nowhere.
Enjoying real silence of nature.
