Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people from many cultures.

Interests

I read a lot and sometimes find good reads by taking the book by the cover.

I love to travel and am planning a trip beginning next April, on the trans Mongolian railway from Moscow to Beijing and on to Japan.

Better stop there since my film library is huge!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I became an accidental lone traveler in my early twenties, so this was not really such a big deal, anyhow I travelled through Morocco on my own during the last two Summers. Such a beautiful country. I met some great people. By far the most amazing place I have been.
