ABOUT ME

... unpredictable affair. Often times you end up at the mercy of whatever powers may be. Now I don't pretend to have all the answers, but I think there's something to be said for that. Left or right, right or wrong - truth is, you don't take it to the road at all. In fact, the road takes you. The moment you let go - that's when the real adventure begins.
Sometimes the road can beat you down. You may end up asking yourself 'how did I get here?' It's at times like these, when things seem their darkest, that most will turn around. But others keep going, because the road is life and the only move is forward.

I am a vigourous person who loves to study and to travel around the world. I am a little bit tall, sincere and open minded. I like organisation and discipline, even knowing that it's sometimes easier to take advantage of chaos.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy the life . . .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in CS by joining CS meetings, meeting people through CS and finding the ultimate destinations by my trips around the world. And there's much more.

Interests

I love traveling and meeting people and cultures. As often as I can I am going out into the nature. Riding my bicycle and hiking is also an important part of my current life.

Besides of that, I love sailing and soaring.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was flying in a small tiny airplane and we flew a parable. So I was for a few seconds without any gravitation - extraordinary! Furthermore, sailing and soaring are just brilliant. So I am looking forward to do my soaring license and to do some more sailing trips.
