#### Dear potential surfer... ####
Here's a short note to let you know what to expect:
- I generally don't accept requests for just one night. How can you get to know someone in just one day? :)
- Don't send me requests for more than ~2 weeks ahead, I like to stay flexible for my own travels
- You'll be accepted into a big family of 15 housemates, no matter how short or long you stay
- During the day I usually work/study but I'll recommend you all the best places to go
- At night I usually think of something fun to do, from night canoeing to comedy nights to going out with friends
- I expect you to join the fun! ;)
- I might accept another surfer with whom you'll share the attic, if you don't want this please say so in your request. Usually it proves to be double the fun :)

Dear person reading my profile,

My name is Fons, like The Fonz from happy days. Eeeyyyyyy. (I do own a white t-shirt but not a leather jacket nor motorcycle.)

I live for adventure. Give me a mountain, a sky full of puffy cumulus clouds, a new city, a bottle of wine, an interesting person, or some running shoes, and I'm joyful.

The mountain I will climb and then paraglide from the top, soaring as far as the eye can see on the thermals under the puffy cumulus clouds.
The city I will wander randomly.
The wine I will sip, then gulp, then drink at once.
The interesting person I will laugh with for hours.
By the time I get the running shoes I'll be so drunk from the wine that I'll put them on my head and imitate a penguin.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A 5-day solo hike-and-fly paragliding trip from Annecy to Nice.

Teach, Learn, Share

I wrote these principles and quotes on my bedroom wall:

Patiently and persistently

This too shall pass

Ease and delight

Who drives the horses of the sun
Shall lord it but a day
Better the lowly deed were done
And kept the humble way
The rust will find the sword of fame
The dust will hide the crown
Ay, none shall nail so high his name
Time will not tear it down
The happiest heart that ever beat
Was in some quiet breast
That found the common daylight sweet
And left to heaven the rest
