About Me

Learning Arabic in Luxor

I have a very romantic view of the world although I know history and know what people are capable of good deeds.
Hithiked +20000km
Cycled +14000km
Canoed +4000km
Walked +1000km
Enjoyed every km

I refuse to stop trusting people and helping people just because some of them don't use orthodox methods of getting there life back on track. Apart from that I love to see the world as it is: beautiful and adventurous and poetic and extremely complicated. I have my own sleepingbag and matress so I'm able to sleep on any piece of floor. I don't need much to be happy as long as I'm safe for the night then I feel pleased.

PHILOSOPHY

Any philosophy is wrong and right in a way so I'll stay with this: wrong and right does not exist but is only a personal belief in a certain time in a certain place.
So practically it does exist but is fluent by It's nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly travel and meeting up couchsurfers but I'd love to host someday.

You come into people's homes you you treat it that way. I've been able to follow other peoples standards with allot more ease now but I refuse to be anything but myself!

Interests

Music,travel in the purest form(hitchhiking,camping,hiking, never planning)
but my interests are so wide that'll be able to catch on any topic...
Science is always fun and philosophical mindsets are a nice way to get my mind sharp.
ow and I'm soooo interested in any musical instrument!!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a big cinéphile so choosing any film would be a disgrace to the others(although i prefer the films with a weird touch or topic or storytelling manner (mr nobody,amelie poulain, magnolia,the square,studio gibli animations,...), same with music. I can probably find music in your library that I listen to as well! Challenge me!
But I also know very exotic and interedting music that you should listen too!

Afrobeat, hatian new wave, congolese electronica, malinese/Brazilian music, vietnamese funk and swing.
but the rule is: you should not talk about music, you should listen to it
although knowing more about music makes you appreciate it more sometimes...
again jing jang contradictions...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Canoed down the Mississippi for 3months and lived as a true river rat.

Cycled 4000km from Spain to Dakar in Senegal straight through the dessert and Mad Max Mauritania!

Cycled another from Cairo to Addis.
Sorry I can't chose just one!
