About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spin the globe, put a needle on a randomly chosen places and be able to say: I've been there.

ABOUT ME

It's never enough. I'm having an unsatisfying hunger to do more, a tendency to do the extraordinary, not even purposefully. Ordinary is just plain ordinary.

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard - play hard - dream big!
See the world from any possible angle - to be taken litteraly.
I'll sleep when I'm dead.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sometimes I have a couch, sometimes I don't, depends on how many people we have in the house, but feel free to ask (as I will myself!).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many great experiences... Probably the best way of describing it is that at a certain moment I looked at the hills (in Mozambique) and thought: "This looks exactly like a BBC documentary..." Followed by the overwhelming notion that this is real, and these are the places they film BBC documentaries! (And the same story again, for diving in Mnemba, near Zanzibar)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can take those pictures you would like to have, but never succeeded to take. I have an eye, talent and the patience fof photography and might be able to show you things in your own place you haven't seen before.
I can cook, but should mention not a great chef. I've learned how to take care of myself, so even if I cannot offer something you might find useful in return, at least I'm not expecting you to take care of me.
