ABOUT ME

A flexible guy, eager to see, smell and taste all kinds of new experiences. Hates to stay in hotel rooms and tourists resourts, as there is so much to experience when finding contact with the local people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far :-)

Interests

Music (blues, jazz, classical, the great masterpieces made from the 20's to the 40's like swing and early rock'n roll, country, rock, sometimes metal) - I also sing in a choir

Staying informed on news from the globe (a great fan of Time Magazine and the online "Foreign Affairs" news wegsite)

Reading (I am currently devouring the Game of Thrones Saga)

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: On the Road as a definite #1, quickly followed by 1984 and Brave New World.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mauna Kea, Hawaii. According to the locals, this is where the Hawaiian gods live. I was lucky to experience a ceremony (genuine, not touristically exploited) where our guide asked permission to ascend the mountain. Together with the beauty of the island and the mysterious atmosphere, you could experience being observed.
