CURRENT MISSION

To remember my old self by finding a new self outside my current self...

ABOUT ME

Hello planet. I have barely traveled your long shores, high peaks and shallow ridges. But here I come.
People often say and see me as the funny kinda wierd guy but sweet and aventurous. My second religion is music and all things music. I love to hang out with friends. I like putting myself in new and ackward positions and meet new people. I have an optimistic view on life but can always observe things in a Seinfeldesk cynical way as well.
Overall I get along with nearly anyone who has substance and a like minded interest in the world. Share a laugh, share an experience i say.

PHILOSOPHY

I live to absorb new experiences, feelings, information and views. I am curious about nearly everything. I read alot of philosphy and continue to explore the different aspects of this life. I try never to be boring and I hate conformity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have never done this before and am keen to try it out on my first big overseas european trip in April 2011. I am mostly aiming to find someone willing to welcome me into their home for a few nights in Reykjavik, Iceland to experience Iceland authentically albeit briefly. I will be there in mid May 2011.
