About Me

CS newbie hailing from Viking land by way of East Africa.

I am a laid back person who has yet to meet someone I couldn't converse with. My outlook on life is positive, I genuinely believe there is a lot of awesomeness among us. I am openminded about most things in life and love exploring new opportunities to learn about this earth of öurs and the people who inhabit it.

Philosophy:
Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth. - Bradley Whitford

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS was recommended to me by friends who have had positive experiences. So, I decided to give it a try as it will be an opportunity to meet new people, see the world and do something I haven't had a chance to do in life. Home is where the couch lives, right?
