About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Work, saving money, travel ;-)

ABOUT ME

I'm a positive person, I like it to see the bright sight of things. I'm pretty open minded and have a lot of hobbies, too many to have time for...

In a city I love to look for those hidden, less known nice spots, even when it does means getting lost often :)

Actually, I'm interested in about anything and love to to hear other stories.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything will be fine.

also: No-one is too stupid to learn something from and no-one is smart enough to have nothing left to learn.

Just like no-one is too rich to receive something from someone else just as there is no-one so poor that he can't give something.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people whenever I can, just like how I got hosted by (non CS) people during my travels.

Interests

I like almost everything!
I like to read, walk, cycle, write, cook meals and cakes/cookies, play board & card games with friends, meating new people etc.

I'm a bit idealistic and like to discuss those 'big problems' of the world. Although I don't know everything of course, I still like to talk about it and let my 'simple mind' give it a thought :)
