About Me

CURRENT MISSION

We secure our friends not by accepting favours but by doing them

ABOUT ME

I am a 26 year old friendly, enthousiastic guy. I have a business, I love the work I do and love the things I do when I don't have to work.

That's me, simple guy, easy going.

PHILOSOPHY

I have strong feelings and ideas about my beliefs, my principles, ethics, my sense of self. In daily life I tend to disregard most of it. (But I am working on improving :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

CS is a meaningful way of doing something small for someone else. That makes me feel good.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None whatsoever, this will be my first go! I will be more on the hosting side than on the surfing side.

Interests

Fine wine and food, working in my garden where some of that food grows. Building furniture or other things around the house. Big sports fan, love going to the games.

I enjoy great movies, faboulous music and concerts, and importantly: coffee made just right. I am working on doing that last one myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love music, crooners from the fifties and sixties, soul, funk, jazz, folk music, pop from the seventies, dance and techno. Mostly on vinyl, I love that spinning circle in my living room.

Own and watch a lot of movies, can talk for days about them. But I won't bore you with it though. You will just have to trust me, what I watch is better than Michael Bay's crap.

I read books, but far to few in my opinion. Mostly non-fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taking the train from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya in central Sri Lanka. I love traveling by train, but that beats it all.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything I know that you would like to learn, I will teach you. Anything from making great espresso to recognising and appreciating old Ry Cooder records, my knowledge is yours.
Maybe you can teach me a thing or two as well.
