CURRENT MISSION Choosing a mission and stick to it. ABOUT ME Well, there is nothing more difficult than objectively trying to describe yourself. So all I am stating here is my personal perception of myself. I (think I) am easy-going, like to see as much as possible, try to enjoy life and be amazed by it, am critical, like meeting people, am an easy talker... The rest is to be found out by you. PHILOSOPHY I am trying to absorb as much information as possible and to be amazed by the world.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I host people and surf couches. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE My first CouchSurfing experience was in Fukuoka, Japan in Januari of 2007. It was such a great experience that I surfed two other couches as well that week: in Hiroshima and Osaka. That summer I travelled trough Switzerland with a friend of mine trying to hitchhike and CouchSurf all the way. Were able to spend all six nights surfing four different people's couch. Only met extremely nice, open-minded, friendly, interesting and fun people (so far : )
