About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To convince myself that running is healthy, & isn't the devil's handywork.

ABOUT ME

I really enjoy talking to strangers when I have the courage

I open up to people really quickly

I can be super optimistic yet wryly cynical

I was a bit of a serious young man, but these days I have relaxed a lot & am having some kind of delayed adolescence

I really like humble people, and especially those who have the time to listen to other's perspective

Sometimes my sense of humour is really inappropriate (actually always)

PHILOSOPHY

Gee, way to engage me in an existential crisis...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I fully endorse the concept of couch-surfing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've really met some amazing people through this site, it's been a few years since I dabbled with it, but I'm keen to try it again.

Interests

Mostly creative endeavours, music, graphic design, 50's-60's graphic art & illustration & cooking are all things I love.

Seeing, tasting, hearing, touching (my sense of smell is quite poor though). I collect vinyl (records) and spend a good deal of time scavenging through record stores. Sometimes dancing & getting sweaty to some form of electronic music, Berlin has some really amazing venues for this.
