CURRENT MISSION

To go forth!

ABOUT ME

I love to travel. I love to see new wonders of the world. I love to muse. I'm very happy to walk all day taking in as much as I can or relaxing all afternoon on a sunny patio enjoying good coffee or good beer. More importantly I love to do all those things with great company and good conversation.

Of course I like the usual things - books, music, film. Photography is also a hobby and I like to get outdoors and walk or hike. I don't have much time for TV but I do enjoy some shows on my own terms. No cable TV but I rent what I want to see.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

"My soul is so open to every manner of idea, taste, and sentiment, it avidly takes in everything that turns up!" - Xavier de Maistre.

"May God grant that when I return, the moral consequences of having lived in a wider world will be manifest in me." - Goethe

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couching surfing was completely unknown to me until one fateful trip to Krakow where I met 3 fabulous couch surfers who opened my eyes to this great idea.

Interests

The world around me! It's really that simple - I'm fascinated by so many things going on around me. I love to talk art, science, culture, philosophy, nature and love meeting people from different cultures, career backgrounds etc.
