CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying life communicating, connecting and creating

ABOUT ME

Please read what friends and couchsurfers had to say, they know best :-)
My reference rules:
I normally give positive references. I give neutral references if
- you don't show up without telling me at least a day in advance
- you give me a reference and urge me to also write a reference for you (references are like smoking shisha - read the next profileblock)
Up to now I didn't have to give a negative reference and I hope it stays that way.

PHILOSOPHY

Rather than fun or happiness I am striving for joy and satisfaction. So this is what I'm going for:
Distilling the best out of what collapses into the moment - past, memory, intuition, future prospects, feelings, dreams, knowledge, thoughts, dear people, craving, moving, infractions, loneliness, tears, perception, scars, reflections, patterns and habits. Based on empathy and trust this makes for the good mankind is capable to do. And to do for each other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm attracted to the gesture of friendship while smoking the Shisha:
When you've finished you do not pass the pipe like a joint. You simply lay down the pipe to not urge your friend neither to smoke nor to decline.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm used to sharing hospitality since my scouting days, enjoying this feeling of connectedness.
