About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make people believe there is a better world

ABOUT ME

Born in a family of 5, I was raised with love and wisdom. After 3 years with the armed forces, I joined the merchant marine and travel around. From cargo to oil rigs and icebreakers, 30+ years from the Arctic to South America, Asia, etc. made me more open to others. I enjoy contemporary jazz, new age, and trance. I keep in shape with kayak, bicycle, walking. I had a great job, which consist in helping others, with the coast guard what do you expect ;).. I live in a beautiful area, which is quiet and peaceful.

PHILOSOPHY

Mostly the golden rule apply, and if everyone would follow that simple rule, we would live in wonderful world. Confucius : Do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
