CURRENT MISSION

Stumbling through life!

ABOUT ME

I really don't know what to write here, so I came up with the idea of asking people whose couch I surfed our who surfed mine to say something typical they recognized about me, so hopefully this will fill up soon.

One thing: My profile states my first name is Sven, although I mostly sign as Theo. That's because everybody close to me calls me T oder Theo, but I had to give my "real name" for the verification process, so don't be irritated about it.

PHILOSOPHY

Time never waits. That's ok, cause I don't wait for time. (quoting Jack Johnson)

You don't know nothing, but you don't need to know,
the wisdoms in the trees, not the glass windows
(Jack Johnson as well)

I never feared consequences, hate regrets more than apologies. (quoting NOFX)

Sleeping is quality time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first Couch Surfing Experience has been very nice. Stayed in Prague for three nights at the home of a very unconventional and friendly guy who showed us around a lot. All my expectations were at least fulfilled and I hope that I can return the favor one day.

Interests

Walking/hiking/backpacking through nature and well... looking at it while doing so.

Watching my son evolve and hopefully being a good influence on his upgrowth to a confident person.

Games of any kind, especially Pen&Paper Roleplaying, but lots of table tops and board/card games too. PC-gaming as well.

• walking
• fishing
• hiking
• backpacking
• surfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen the birth of my son Samuel Hendrik on 18.04.2005... nothing could possibly compete with that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm highly interested in learning skills concerning nature, like fishing or practical botany. I can teach how to make an appropriate fire according to the purpose (how to be prepared, what kind of wood, how to pile it up)

I always like to learn new games of any kind and guess I'm able to teach some of course.
