About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore South America, be inspired and come up with ideas about how to work without using a computer in the future (last one might take longer!)

ABOUT ME

I think I´m an open minded, easy going person who is interested in the world and those in it. I´ve got a good sense of humour (well I think so anyway!) and am up for a good time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I recently couchsurfed in South America and found it a great experience - it's a fantastic way to meet some brilliant people, and become closer to different cultures.

Interests

I think probably my main one is music - I love music, to see live music, to play the guitar and to write songs.

I´m a very sporty guy and like to try anything - at home I do football, tennis, rockclimbing...

Apart from that there´s always going out, beer and a boogie at night time...

Music, Movies, and Books

Music first - I like all sorts of music, and love discovering new stuff. But my top 2 would be Ray Charles and The Clash - I reckon both together cover most of my moods! Apart from that, ska, old soul, rock n roll, indie, W African, Brazilian...anything that has some rhythm and some soul.

Films...well I always prefer watching new films rather than revisiting favourites, but I would mention the Coen brothers films, the Long Goodbye, most things with Pacino and De Niro...

Books: I love Graham Greene's books, George Orwell and Raymond Chandler amongst others.
