About Me

CURRENT MISSION

living and spreading the good vibes, and for sure being the a-bit-crazy myself

ABOUT ME

I like sports, especially diving (it's addictive!!), hiking, walks, yoga, swimming, skiing, climbing,...
The thing I really love above all is my diabolo(s). always good fun to let them swirl around and astonish people.
Also music I enjoy, to party I prefer non-commercial music "with drive", as Jungle DnB and Goa, but also Electro or others will do it.
Celtic knotwork is really intriguing me. i learned how to construct and draw them.
Also just being with some good people, having a glass of Beer and talking, barbequing, playing a game (favorites: Siedler, Roborally, Munchking, and many more).
I'm more and more as well into living simple, doing things myself, with my own hands, shaping a future and the space around me.
So in 3 words, having fun :-D.
I'm also a very optimistic an idealistic person, I believe that we can make a change, and that it will be done.

PHILOSOPHY

I think, there are so many open-minded people here, we will eventually be able to make a change, sand grain by sand grain.
This earth should become a friendly place, also for the next generations to enjoy. Let's begin today by passing on warmth and "power" to the one next to us.
This planet is just a product of our feelings and desires, so it's never too late to make a change.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Everybody cool I encounter I tell about this site. A lot of people really will register. :-)

Used to do more, now more have to live my live.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I already had couch surfing experiences before I joined this site:
We've been 3 weeks in Scotland, biking. There for instance I meet a lot of heartily people, inviting me for lunch and a bed, just since we were quite soaked.
Everytime I just enjoy it.
Since then, lemme think... hosted dozens of CSers, surfed a few places on my own, few meetings... visits of good CS friends

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: all kind of (honestly: much).
For parting I enjoy wild music, with a drive, which makes you move. Jungle, DrumnBass and Goa are sure among my favorites.
Movies: I enjoyed Amelie, Les choristes (Enfants de M. Matthieu, Fight club, but also many others.
Books: ok, there will be no end, I quite enjoy reading. My favourite Author is Christopher Brookmyre. Further on also Cryptonomicon and the Baroque cycle from Neal Stephenson are just exceptional. Also the books of Robin Hobb and for sure by J.R. Tolkien are among my favorites (These are the books I read at least 4 times each).
Further on there is just too much to be listed here. But generally I enjoy (good!!) fantasy books, crime fiction, the science of living tons of other interesting stuff.
