About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To continue to experience the world and the amazing people in it.

ABOUT ME

I don't like to describe myself because I like people to take me as they find me.
I know that's a little cliche, but it's true.
But in the spirit of this project, I'm totally open to any free thinking mind and lifestyle, and love to meet anyone who can challege or expand my ideals. I'm a vegitarian, but that's my choice, it doen't have to be yours. I love seeing new cities, being itroduced to new music, art and food.
I'm pretty laid back, but get excitable about things that interest me, and I try not to waste an hour of any day, though this results in a severe lack of sleep.


PHILOSOPHY

If I live this life properly, I won't have the energy for another one. I want to see as much as I can, and learn as much as I can and share that with as many people as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I co/hosted a few people a couple of years back,surfed also and had a completely positive experience with all of them.
I see this as a kind of one on one way to experience other cultures. Travelling in hostels is to impersonal with people coming and going. Couch Surfing is a great way to make more lasting connections.
