ABOUT ME

I'm a fairly quiet person but don't mind (or can't avoid) being a little crazy at times. Life has been and will probably always be a bit of a struggle for me but I guess that's what makes me a good listener and a good sport.
A few things that I like: random conversations ranging in topics from science and math, the universe, art or philosophy to rather unconventional topics depending on the conversation partner. I love books and movies and can't live without music. Nature!... Especially the ocean and stunning cloud formations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I only surfed couches. When I lived in Victoria I couldn't host but I spent a lot of time with local CSers (if that counts as participation...).
Where ever I will end up in the future I'll try to host more.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed a few times in Seattle and San Francisco. Still in the process of convincing myself that I wouldn't be a bad host myself :P
