About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Mission.... right. errmmm Don´t know. Enjoying the most as possible and not hurt any others in that proces. Souds like a good mission.

ABOUT ME

Some times a bit busy. Organised severeal volunteering projects for 12 months with EU funded project. Have been around, mostly EU countries. It´s always great to meet others.

PHILOSOPHY

Do i look like Plato. No .. otherwise it would be hard for people to take me serious.

But if have to pick one or two philosophies.

The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page.

Love all, trust a few.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Don´t surf much. Have a camper (mobile home) so i have my own driving couch. Always love to host and have a good evening and exchange stories. Usually don´t go to Amsterdam with visitors. Just have done that enough for now. Love food. If you steal my couch... you cook a traditional meal. That´s the deal. Fair enough right. I just like food more then my couch. Can´t help it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well this new lay out sucks big time. I have hosted a few. Got pissed waiting for people that didn´t showed up. Also, unfortunatly, forgot about 1 or 2 and left them standing.

Interests

Alot of things. All becomes interesting after some drink. Or maybe that´s just a eastern middle europe thing. 70cl vodka for all illneses as grandmother says. Either way. Just exchange realities and present happenings that keep us busy. I listen more then i talk. At least i try too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked hard. Got alot. Lost alot again. Changed my perspective alot. Met amazing people.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach. I prefer coaching. But i kinda suck i guess. I will teach you how to reach Amsterdam by bus and train for starters. What learning concerns. I have studying. Learning however is beautiful. Every person i met left me something unexpected in terms of some kind of wisdom from home. Some things they are annoyed by or comparisons made with their travels and their homeplace. I get a better understanding on current reality in alot of nation state. I´m not impressed by any degree. Unless it´s in cooking hehe. For sharing i think your and my time seems a nice thing to share. And if not you are still most likely welcome. Just clean up after yourself. You would be amazed how many people have issues with that.
