What to say? I hate trying to sum myself up in a paragraph or two! I guess I can say I'm a down to earth guy, a free thinker and very respectful. My main passions are psychology, philosophy, self knowledge and politics. I love talking about the deep stuff. I'm not always in that mode though! I also love all kinds of music, outdoor activities (hiking, cycling, swimming, soccer) Also love a bit of dark, alternative or stoner comedy, like Tim and Eric or the Cohen brothers.
Oh, I should add I'm very clean and tidy and a non smoker, although I don't have a problem with smokers. I also don't drink. My partying years are behind me! Into clean living now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm embarking on a coast to coast hitch hiking adventure from Florida to Texas and would love to make some friends along the way. Even if you can't host me, I'm really interested in meeting like minded people to connect with.

Interests

As I said, my passions are pyschology and philosophy.
I also love a good movie, cycling, swimming, a game of chess, or football (soccer) video games

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking up a live volcano in Guatemala was pretty cool. We camped up there and got to experience it rumble and smoke. The sunrise the next day was spectacular as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Spanish or French or even a bit of Welsh if you like! I'm also a bit of a pyschology/therapy buff so I could probably offer one or two interesting insights if we got onto such matters!
