Always looking for new experiences and new stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Whenever I can, I like to go hitchhiking, and I feel that couchsurfing is a kind of extension of the hitchhiking experience.
There is this feeling of paying forward that I really like, where you help out someone and in turn someone else might help you out, which, when kept up, makes everything more enjoyable for everybody.
Plus, when I visit places I like to hang out with locals, and love the opportunity to offer the same to people visiting my city.

Interests

I love to read and write, to learn more about people and their cultures, and the natural world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: very fond of Xavier Rudd and similar-sounding artists, reggae, and so forth.

Movies: not very critical really, to be honest. I like Wes Anderson a lot though.

Books: I try to read as much as I can. Some favorites: Hermann Hesse, Kurt Vonnegut, Haruki Murakami, Oscar Wilde, Terry Pratchett, J.D. Salinger, and so so many others.
