About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting there eventually

ABOUT ME

I am a relaxed person with a bad memory. I like humans because they are complex. I love the world for its diversity. I make a bad first impression but once you get over that I am a friendly and utterly honest person. I like deep questions but will still laugh at fart jokes. That's how it goes.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect and trust. Human beings should feel confident to shape society, not the other way round. Nothing should be off limits.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To provide home like surroundings to tired feet and being very British and offering cups of tea. My room will always have a couch free, since we have too many couches here anyway. That is if I'm still in the country. To anyone kind enough to let me stay I will provide tall tales and yarn spinning for free as well as chipping in with chores.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first time I heard about it was from a CouchSurfer in Glasgow who came from South America. We had an adventure of gastronomic proportions involing haggis. My old flatmates have been involved also which rekindled my notions of being part of couchsurfing.
