Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I remain open minded, respectful and, above all else, honest.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Loved it all, best moments of my life, all very positive and completely unforgettable.

Interests

Movies, many and far apart, Pedro Al'Modovar has always tickled my humour. Cafe culture. Mango's and raspberries with mint. Watermelon and mozzarella with basil. Contemporary art in many forms, fascinated with light compositions. Morning showers. Bathing in the sea or under a waterfall. Cooking for a crowd or treating myself :-) Sports of all sorts (playing no not watching) Tennis, Football and Snowboarding.

Music, Movies, and Books

Pedro Al'Modovar collection. Sin city, Fight club, Moulin Rouge, Gladiator, Big Fish, Into the Wild, Over the Hedge, Memoirs of a Geisha, and a few good Tarantino's here and there.

Music: Too much variation and little knowledge leaves me constantly on the search for inspiration. Otherwise, Jazz Blues, House, Trance, Funk.

Books: Of mice and men, The Alchemist, Fraction of a whole, Men are from Mars Woman are from Venus, New Scientist magazine, a few more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee Jumped, Sky Dived 12000ft, Drove through the Alpes and the Himalayas. Almost stepped in front of a Bus, Cycled head-on into a moving car, fired an antique revolver, swam with elephants, climbed many mountains, walked few expeditions over the Scottish Munros, held a baby tiger, godola through Venice, antics in Amsterdam, saved a few lost animals here and there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love food. I would love to teach people my skills in the kitchen, give me your scraps and I'll turn it into a meal. Even more I wecome suggestions and ideas, and maybe even a meal made for me ;-)

Art in its many forms I believe is the best way to learn and share. Paint, Dance, Photography, Debating, or whatever you bring or want to learn.
