ABOUT ME

Me...personality is not much of my interest; yet, i like nature and all things that leave space for a wink of the eye. I don´t like all-too-serious stuff. I'm not into fashion.
I like to make a good coffee on my camping stove with my italian espreso machine, then froth milk, and make a perfect looking foamy cappuccino, cinnamon on top, and be at least three days away from anything, for example. Preferably with some snow around.
I like to try to live healthy and ecologically responsible.
I like cycle touring and trekking. When trekking, and then back on the bike,i am so happy. When biking, and suddenly trekking again, same thing. Both are perfect in combination.

PHILOSOPHY

I have none myself -maybe this is actually one, who knows-, yet some I consider very funny or beautiful, and this is my measure of its value. Like dissolving the distinction between reality-fiction, life a dream and all that: they are funny, but then again... it is only aesthetics.
Or maybe this: One ought to hold on to one's heart; for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too. In the end, the body wins. The beat of the heart forces your thinking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Letting my hosts wanting to leave their houses and go travel themselves. And when i host, to let the travellers have a break from traveling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All around. Always nice to hang around with some locals without any economic gain in the game.

Interests

My interests change a lot. Anyway, reading, drinking wine, seeing new unknown places, going back to known ones, having some kind of a sports activity around if it is in a nice healthy setting, lazing around, ranting about futilities, living in tune with nature, the few eternal friends,... are things who kept me, and will keep me happily busy for still a while, i think. I´ll be old and bored when they don´t change any more.
