About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Am I supposed to be on a mission? Crap.

ABOUT ME

I am a work in progress.

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life. Let others do the same. It sounds simple, but it isn't. Work at it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to meet some amazing people, travel some more and help people coming to my town.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined CS couple of years ago and I have been incredibly lousy at it. I would like to change that.

Interests

Almost everything interests me. I like tennis, jazz, gardening, photography, cooking, urban art, long walks, good wine and puppies.

Music, Movies, and Books

I hate these things, cause it is impossible to remember it all, and I always hate the lists that I make. If you really wanna know, ask me over drinks.

That's 11, sorry.First 10 BOOKS that come to mind, right now, are:Lord of the Rings, Crime and Punishment, Hundred Years of Solitude, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The Book Thief, The Portrait of Dorian Gray, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Alice in Wonderland, A Tale of Two Cities and Infinite Jest. First 10 BANDS/MUSICIANS that come to mind, right now, are: Pearl Jam, Travelling Wilburys, The Beatles, Joe Purdy, Jack Johnson, Norah Jones, Dear and the Headlights, The Smiths, The Strokes, The Knife.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Reindeer gathering in northern Norway. This is the title. I'll tell you all about it when we meet. It was awesome.

Teach, Learn, Share

Oscar Wilde, my favourite author wrote: "Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught". And I believe that. I think of life as an experiment with infinite variables. YOu don't want to be in the control group.
