CURRENT MISSION

To live, laugh and learn.

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going and inquisitive traveller interested in making new and fascinating friends all over the world. I hope that in doing so I'm putting something positive back into the world and helping to foster greater understanding, respect and appreciation between different cultures...etc etc etc...blah blah blah!

I'm a clean, relaxed and experienced house guest. I can easily and happily keep to myself, but also look forward to meeting many great and new friends through the couchsurfing experience!

PHILOSOPHY

No pain, no gain.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a good newspaper, all the good quality online news services, and news magazines. I´ll try to pick up a book as often as I can.

On Spotify I play all sorts of genres - alternative/mellow rock, house, dance, classical, pop etc.

I´m a huge film buff. Name a film and I´ve probably seen it! If I had to choose a few all-time favourites I´d say '2001: A Space Odyssey', 'Dancer in the Dark', 'Silence of the Lambs' and 'Fight Club'.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I´ve met a few Presidents and Prime Ministers from various different countries

Teach, Learn, Share

The following motto has helped me get through many quite difficult, awkward, upsetting and stressful situations on the backpacking trail and in life in general: "Accept it, deal with it, and move on!"

What I Can Share with Hosts

Courtesy, self-awareness, good humour, respect and good communication
