I recently moved to a house in the countryside. I'm happy to be out of the city and enjoying the slower pace, the garden and the maintenance and restoration work on my old house.

I am searching soul with an urge to make a difference.

I am an ideologist. My primary goal in life is to continuously improve both myself and the world, by offering credible alternatives to the current standard. By always trying to be better, for the sake of the greater good. I'm a bit stupid that way :-) – I believe that if you do enough good, for the right reasons (which is never money), then in the end it will come back in a positive way.

I challenge the norm because it needs to be challenged – we can't keep doing things the same old way, because earth simply cannot handle it.

I am well versed within both science and spirituality. Everything is connected but everyone sees the connections in different ways. I believe that the two are much more connected than most people think.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I think we need to get closer to each other, not further apart. I'm always experiencing that people are nice and helpful, everywhere I travel in the world. That everyone essentially just wants to get along and live meaningful, happy lives. These positive experiences are a very effective shield against the fear that is also growing in society – and that the best cure for this fear is travelling and meeting new and wonderful strangers.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm into a wide range of music, but do generally prefer alternative rock/pop. I'm finding that the lyrics are essential for me – mostly it's the story that touches me, rather than the actual melody.

I like all kinds of movies – but don't watch too many. Same with TV shows. I think they are awesome for tuning out, which is also needed once in a while.

I love to read – but found it hard to prioritise for the last couple of years. I've been writing on my own book for a while – and I think that is really, really good ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Captained a sailboat from Denmark to Spain.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Smiles, good mood and relaxed company. Insights on life from a very alternative path. My plan to change the world. Craftsmanship – if you have something that needs fixing, perhaps I can help fix it?
