About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Combining an awesome life, making money, and making the world a better place. And sleeping enough. Time.. oh time.......where aret thou

ABOUT ME

I'm... impulsive, enthousiastic about "discovering" things and dreaming up new ideas. Spontaneous trips are my thing, and I love the fact that I own a (shitty) car so I can take people places.

I'm definitely a "community" person. I like people being nice to each other and sharing things. I love my friends and family. I like drinking cheap wine on the beach. I like festivals. I like games, playing music, campfires. I like people better than I like things. I find beauty in shitty things prepared with love. I should have been a hippie.

I love freedom. I love the local "free places", squatted houses where just about everything is possible. I love being on holiday, and living cheap to have more holidays. I don't like rules. (But I will respect the ones in your house :-)

PHILOSOPHY

There's room for everybody in this world to be happy. If we help each other a bit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
