Hey, my name is Pascal!

I am a life-loving guy - keen to immerse myself in new environments and soak up the sights, smells, tastes, and sounds of this transcient existence that we call life ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Truthfully, when i think back on my travels, it's not the buildings or the weather that comes to mind - it's the people! Creating social bonds where you least expect them leads to life-long memories, and that's why i love CouchSurfing or WorkAways (i.e., WWOOFing) more than hotels/Airbnbs. Waking up and having a sleepy coffee together is so special. :)

Plus, I find couchsurfing to be more conducive to true local immersion. Traditional accomodations do not always faciliate the same cultural exchange that is possible through couchsurfing. It is more interesting, intimate, and memorable!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love the idea of energy exchanges.

My hope is that if you feel so inclined to host me, i will be able to return the favour to you. This can be through stories, good company, pulling weeds in your garden, scratching your back, etc. I'm open to discussing whatever i can do to pay it forward so that i don't feel like i'm living rent-free, and you don't feel like you're being taken advantage of. I also promise that i'll leave your place in as good or better condition than how i found it x
