About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be happy!

ABOUT ME

I am a young man who wishes to see the best that this world and mankind has to offer. I am an extremely positive and optimistic person, thirsty for knowledge and understanding of the planet we live on and it's people. I am all for difference: different people, different cultures, different religions, different places, different food, different experiences, and a different day every day, if at all possible! Always with a smile and looking on the bright side of life!

PHILOSOPHY

Check "personal description" for the most about my personal philosophy and lifestyle. Loyal to others, myself included!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I registered immediately after hearing of this project, hoping to make some new friends along my future travels, and if possible, to find a few couches along the way :)
My couch is available for anyone who is interested whenever I am not traveling!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I guess i have couch surfed in some countries before, when i was traveling around Europe, tho i didn't know the technical name to it at the time :)
Since then, I had an amazing experience surfing a couple of couches on my trip to Turkey and the middle east. I haven't hosted anyone yet, but I am guessing that my town isn't really a tourist magnet :)

Interests

Travel, photography, food, culture, art. Teach and learn. All at once, if possible!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Years ago, I decided to 'reset' my life and start over. I sold everything I had except for my car, and went on a road-trip through Europe all alone, with no given destination or any plans to return. For several months, I saw the most amazing places, met the most amazing people, and lived the most amazing days in my life. Now I want more, and the world has more for me :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am happy to learn a little about everything all the time, and i am not ashamed to ask all the stupid questions. It's a true pleasure for me to teach someone else something new, as it is the other way around.

Countries I’ve Visited

Andorra, Belgium, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Jordan, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Syrian Arab Republic, Turkey
