About Me

Hi,

I love the concept of this platform, having travellers from all around passing here is a joy. Apart from hosting, i played guest for almost a year while traveling around ( see the trip on sunbiker.com)

A little irritation came the last year when this platform started to become very commercialized, they seem to be more intersted in more members then in a good community. Therefore, from now on, i only accept guest who have been host as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is not a free bed. First of all it is a way to get in touch with the locals. If you play the game right, then you get offered a bed the same way you offer a bed. So it's a balance.

Interests

Watersports: I like the sea on calm days with my kayak. On rough days kiting, and in between surfing, swimming or sailing.
Piano is my other main pasttime

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a very wide range of music I like.
All time favorite (at least for many years) "Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulin"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

From the adventourous side: Swimming with fur seals.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share travel experiences. If there's a piano, I have music to share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Music, cooking, cocktail skills,
