About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Mixing my social and environmental consciousness with creativity and to have fun.

ABOUT ME

Slightly nomadic. Trying to be socially active in whatever community I am living, through volunteering, working with homeless, organising or participating in events, protesting...Seem to have a tendency to keep myself very busy.
Like to dance&move, ask questions (and be asked) and to hit inanimate objects (for purely rhythmical purposes)

PHILOSOPHY

If I could write my philosophy in this short a space (and know what to write) I would be a happy man (well even happier)
I believe in kindness, insanity, sanity, randomness, joy, a more sustainable future, determination, diversity, choices, good open communication and that I need to be pro-active to make these things happen in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like the idea of offering people a place to stay and to give an inside view into the community where I am living.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have informally offered many people a place to stay and had likewise the opportunity to stay at other people's houses. So many lovely and unexpected acts of kindness by strangers over the years.

Interests
