ABOUT ME

I believe in enjoying life to the full, but am also willing to make sacrifices to achieve what I want. I love travelling, but also staying put and really getting to know a place.

I am easy going in general, but at the same time I can stick up for myself and stand my ground when necessary.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is for living. Specialisation is for insects. Jeder ist seines glueckes Schmied.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted many CSers in Barcelona, been a guest myself in Madrid, Paris, Vilnius, and Lima. I've attended many BCN and Vienna CS gatherings and I often offered guest list slots to CSers for gigs that I was promoting. I don't do tour guide stuff, so please don't ask.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been travelling on and off since 1985-86 when I was just 16. I've crashed on countless sofas/mattresses/camp beds/floors around the world and had countless people crash on mine.
