CURRENT MISSION

New me: mostly being at peace with myself and others

Old me: experiencing my self in a series of different moments and environments

ABOUT ME

I've been many things. These days I mostly sail, and travel a lot in connection with it. I'm always interested in exploring too, which is the reason I've been on couchsurfing longer than most.

I have a number of children living in at least 3 countries. They bring me great joy.

I'm always interested in learning more. I support free software as best I can. I believe in common decency but also worship the old gods. Through unforeseen circumstances I now work in hospitality.

PHILOSOPHY

Living is an art form. We are the creator, the media and the public.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in the sacredness of hospitality to travellers. Through the years, I've gained so much from people willing to help out a stranger from a strange land. Being hospitable is a way of giving back.
