About Me

Hi! I just opened up for couchsurfing so I don't have references yet. Don't be afraid to contact me!

I love meeting new people from new backgrounds and cultures. I guess I love people in general. I always try my best to help others if they are in need. I'm an open minded guy who doesn't believe that anyone is bad or evil. Live and let live etc. Haven't come across a person I can't get along with and I don't get offended easily.

I love trying new things and pushing my boundaries! I believe that anything is possible. I'm a vegan but I don't mind people eating what they eat. Like I said live and let live.

I own a corn snake but he has never bitten anyone, or even attempted. If you're afraid of snakes, no worries, he has a terrarium that will keep you safe from unwanted snakeynes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see what the world has to offer! I'm also planning on travelling around the world this summer, so it would be nice to make new friends from around the world. It would be great to make new friends even if I wasn't going!

Interests

I sing, play guitar/piano, write, dance (alone in my flat) and have done quite a bit of acting. I like pretty much all forms of art. I can have a conversation of almost any topic, so I'm interested in a loooooot of things. Just having a conversation in general is really fun and rewarding for me. I like to really get to know people and not just making acquaintances but I don't force myself on people.

I'm an adventurer at heart! It's nice to get lost in the right direction and I LOVE having my mind blown. I like to dig deep into the mysteries of the world and universe. So a bit of philosopher at heart too. A right question is more valuable than a million right answers.
