Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Regardless if you stay on my couch or I on yours;

I have a lot to share, can be very inspirational and insightful, at the same time as I love to listen and learn from you.
I adapt easily...if you want to be left alone....no problem, if you want to spend time together...great!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There's a lot; from Indiana Jones style adventures to deep spiritual insights/experiences. Have slept in Egyptian cotton in top end hotels, on dirt floors with goats and everything in between. I have lived in the rainforest, on boats and in citys. Had many close encounters with local wildlife (wherever I go), have experienced many proffessions and lived in many countries. My father is an inventor, an original genius and lot of my friends are as crazy as I am....
In other words....I have stories to tell around a campfire.
