About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Working on getting into my dream job.

ABOUT ME

Very easy going, and always on the search for something fun to do, and new to see, discover and talk, and laugh about with others. I love sports, need the movement and dynamics after a day in the office. Love to watch movies, pretty much about anything. I'm a very diplomatic guy, having grown up with 5 siblings made me so I suppose, so I very easily can adapt to a new situation, and I don't always need things to be perfect and go the way I want them to. Makes me flexible and easy to get along with. I don't know what else to say, you would just have to come and see for yourselves.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others the way you would want to be treated by them.
Life is too short to waste time bitchin around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Offer my couch to those traveling, and use it myself when I travel abroad.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted a traveler, and showed her around Berlin a little bit, and then stayed with two hosts in Israel (which was amazingly cool!)

Interests

As mentioned above, I love to engage in almost any sport. I play soccer on a team, and love to go for a good run (trying to get in shape to run a marathon). I read, play some chess, go out, enjoy a good museum, and do the other normal stuff.
