ABOUT ME

I live.

PHILOSOPHY

I am awake; hello!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host. My place is close to parks and the sea. The bus route to the city is close by and the journey to the centre takes around 15 minutes. I have a bicycle available for surfers to explore the area.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hitched rides and surfed floors, truck-cabs and couches on missions around the place. I surfed for four months through central Europe and Britain including most of the places on my "visited destinations" list. I have hosted quite a few people in the last few years and it is a much simpler now that I live without house-mates.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saw a rainbow terminate on the ground 3 metres ahead of me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to transform a stack of old photocopying paper into a fantastic pair of stereo speakers. A broken compact disc player can be revived with sunshine, a cotton-wool-bud and alcohol in five minutes. Calendula flowers repell nematode-worms that feed on a variety of delicious root vegetables.
