About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To understand - edit: I finally understand, now writing a book about it B)

ABOUT ME

I can like a good discussion. I can joke around, although sometimes people can think I'm serious when I'm really not. I'm very adaptable, one of the things I learned when being an exchange student. That year groomed my mentality. I always have many ideas in my head, I like to think I'm creative hah. Not too good in realizing them though. I'm the analyctical person, but not the driver. But I turn into a driver when I'm put under stress or time pressure.

I'm laidback and a very very patient man. I'm always 5-10 minutes late when I have an appointment. That seems to be my thing according to my friends. There's also tons of other things to learn about me, but I guess you gotta find that out the hard way ;)

PHILOSOPHY

There's always something new to learn. "The only thing I know, is that I know nothing".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm getting used to this stuff, excited to learn more about this fantastic world and network! I've hosted several times and most of the times (Except a few) has been positive experiences, some have been just fantastic! There are truly some marvelous people in the world!

I've also learned that it doesn't matter how many references you have. I used to automatically accept people with over 100 references. But in fact those have been some of the most close minded people I have met so far. Which I have a pretty good theory to why, you can ask me that when you get here:p
