About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To seek out new life and new civilisations, to boldly go where no one has gone before...

ABOUT ME

I love to laugh, to work, to eat, to sweat, to shop, benjijumping, to think, to make love, to have fun, to spend money, to drive with loud music, heights, lunches with a view, sunsets, to dance on a podium, paragliding, to read, parties, to smoke a cigarette on a cold day in the sun, to travel, to watch TV shows, to stay up all night, ...

I don't like soccer, really bad weather, dishonesty, smart-asses, disrespect, stupidity, make first moves, cook for myself, to quit smoking, fanaticism, doing my laundry, waiting, drama queens, not speaking a language, headaches, traffic-jams, ...

PHILOSOPHY

No-one ever achieved greatness by playing it safe ||If you think youâ

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Giving it my best shot to spend quality time with CouchSurfers. Be it showing them around and do the more touristic stuff, or showing them around a bit in my life. Or both. In the end, I believe a nice CS experience would be being able to see (or at least get a glimpse of) the place through the eyes of a local.

On the other hand, I'm always willing to help in case of emergencies (a place to crash for the night in between two flights, a drink during those couple of otherwise lost hours, a quick tip or a "how to", ...).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed in Amsterdam, Salvador do Bahia, Cape Town, Dar Essalaam - loved it!!! It was an amazing experience.Hosted quite a lot of people at my place, and every time it's a pleasure to meet you guys and girls!CouchSurfing rocks!

Music, Movies, and Books

Seen, read and listened to so much and still so much to see, read and listen to.
On the top of my mind at the moment:
Movies: Asterix et Obelix chez Cleopatre, Kill Bill, La Cité de la Peur, Les Chansons d'Amour
Series: Battlestar Galactica, Dexter, Heroes, The Office US
Music: La Petite Bourgeoisie (DiscoBitch), American Boy (Estelle and Akon), The Niiles Peters Jolk, Tribulations (LCD SoundSystem)
Books: Lord of the Rings, Shannara Trilogy, Dark Tower series

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing on summits keeps amazing me (Mont Blanc, Toubkal, Table Mountain and lots of them to come!). Paragliding. Standing on a stage in front of a couple of hundred heads shaking to the music of our band. Playing with a baby tiger. A sunset in Ancud (Chiloe). Aurora borealis in Finland. And if you've read everything up until here (and if you still want to meet) why don't you include some of this stuff in your message? ;-)
