About Me

I am energetic and a creative kinda guy.
Also a proud lefty so...Southpaws embrace the smudge!
I can draw.
I painted one painting and do wish I went on
I sang from a young age until start of high school where teenagers convinced me that I cannot, although I once got A++ for a song I did in German. "O ma so lieb". hehe

I have bipolar disorder but, recently had a turn for the good when I decided to appreciate the little things in life.
I am a very open minded person and like to talk about anything, except politics.
I do not mind to work hard. An honest work for an honest pay.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couchsurfing because my goal one day is to travel the world, purely (eventually) surviving solely on the goodness of the locals I am visiting. Surely money will always be with me, but I want to see if there is still goodness in this world. Hope.

I want to take a Go-pro and Camera and one day post all my adventures on social media so everyone can see that it's possible to travel without being a rich Bruce in a mansion. We are not born to sit at a desk for the rest of our lives, working 9 to 5.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music ranging from Mozart and Vivaldi to ACDC and Dragonforce.
If it gives me goosebumps and sometimes a tear to my eye, I love it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once visited a place in South Africa called "God's window".

Its this rock pathway you stand on. When turning left, there's this passage made from trees and bushes. Normal door-sized entrance.

When you are passed that, you see a few broken steps, maybe three or four, that lead to a small opening of clouding trees and branches.

Standing on the edge of the rusted railing, looking out, you witness two mountains on both sides, laying down a groove in the Earth, straight toward the horizon.

When you are there at the right time of the day...it looks like a Leonardo/Picasso painting that came to life.

Truly spectacular.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a lot of stuff.

General knowledge
Languages
Art
History
Music
Tastes in wine. (favorite is a sweet Port or Muscadel from the heart of the Cape)

I like to learn everything there is to learn. I like to see myself as an Autodidact.

I love to learn languages. Thats the best thing to receive and to give. The ability to communicate and understand the level of laughter.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share only myself.

Who I am, what information I have gathered through the years, I have been on this Earth.
I can show true humility because any person who can lay down a piece of bread to a stranger, is a true human being in my eyes
