I find it rather hard to fully introduce myself to you fellow CouchSurfers, because a personality is way too complex and dynamical to compress into a few scentences. I guess my interests can give you a rather good general idea of what moves me in and through life, but other than that, I would just really love to meet you and get to know you in real life, as the actual personalities we are.

Philosophy:
I won't state that I succeed in living the philosophical ideas I persue. As I mentioned earlier, I strongly believe that a personality is a very fluid concept. I believe one can live towards certain ideas, but we are human after all. I choose my path in life, inspired by old and new ideas, conversations and encounters (maybe soon by an encounter with you?). It won't always be the most ideal path, as some obstacles make you unable to live towards a certain idea; an idea you would like to live by. But that, I believe, is the unavoidable thruth of life, one that we can better embrace than fear.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My reason number one for joining the CS network is the urge I feel to connect with the locals of the places where I travel. I believe that it is by far the most interesting and inspiring way of travelling, and CouchSurfing makes it a whole lot more easy than it ever was. You never get to know a place better than when you interact with locals, and sharing experiences makes it a fun thing for both me and you. ;) I look forward to meeting you!
