Someone dear to me describing me :

With his detailed attention, nothing escapes David's gaze. Creative ideas easily pop up in his mind some, though, dissapear as quickly as they came :-).
The rules of societal conventions are David's arch enemy, he's rather true to what he likes. As an authentic person he can easily connect with people and grasp their hidden quirckiness.
Personnaly, he told things about me I had never realised, all positive of course ;-)

I like :

- Cycling the city streets during the night listening to obscure music.
- eye contact with complete strangers that result in an authentic smile for the both of us.
- A smell that intensifies a certain moment like coffee in the morning or sigarette smoke when arriving at a party.

I freak out when :

- A mosquito keeps me up all night
- Vacuum cleaners do the exact opposite of what you want them to.
- People talk way to loud on the phone in public spaces

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A movie (Into the wild) had these quotes that describe couchsurfing for me :

"The core of mans' spirit comes from new experiences."

"Happiness only real when shared"

We all like to connect to one another, don't we?
