Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Give everything you can, ask for what you need. Take things as they come, enjoy and take it easy!
ABOUT ME
extremely curious, intelligent, strong, very friendly and undertaking / adventourous... Couchsurfing asks "all about me" that's not gonna happen in this paragraph.
Hmm: i would like to say that i like to take my time for things and people so that i can enjoy them intensely. Love and connection.
PHILOSOPHY
Give what you can, ask for what you need. Trust any stranger, unless your gutfeeling tells you differently.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I surf and host.
Surfing: I like to have real experiences; a view and actual participation in someone else's daily life is something I really enjoy. Simple things.
Trying to speak your language, cook your dishes, go to the canteen of your work or university, things like that.
Hosting: I like you to be part of my life as an intermezzo of your own; I'll take you with me for all kinds of errands, show you some daily-life stuff, ask you to join me in cooking my specialties, stuff like that... Oh yeah, I also like to take you to concerts or other cultural events; not the massive ones, but the smaller alternative ones and you can use my bike.
If the season is right and if I estimate you as being stirty enough, we might also go for a sailingtrip on my small but seaworthy yacht!
