life should be fun and easy for everyone. and i think life is about feeling connected. so i try spending my time meeting people, talking to them, listening to them, laughing with them.

i think we really need this, because of all the injustice we live in. and for me, justice is this special moment when everyones needs are seen, respected and accepted. when there are no judgements and we all feel really free and ready to open up.

the world is full of stunning places and beautiful people. i would love to see, feel and understand as many as possible of them.

i'm a very social person and i like to talk about politics a lot, i mean mainly about self-organization: what we can do, what we want and what we need. i'm really not so much in to critizing, and being fucked up about the situation, i am more into empowering each others and starting to live our dreams.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

how do we relate to the earth? i think its through the people we meet and listen to, its through their stories and the stories of their places and cultures.

sometimes i'm sad because so many people use couchsurfing as a dating site for travelers and backpackers. on the otherside i like to be surpised by and open to the people i meet throu couchsurfing. you never know what happens. on my first couchsurfing trip one of my fellow travellers met his first wife.
