CURRENT MISSION

life and the living of it on my own terms and in my own inimitable style, writing, searching, travelling, dreaming, waxing lyrical,

ABOUT ME

Easy going, soulful charmer and wit. "One day there will be the girl, and the woman, whose character will no longer provide a mere contrast for masculinity, but something self-justifying, something in connection with which one thinks not of complement and limitation, but of life and existence...this will provide a basis for a new kind of love..the love which consists in this, that two solitudes protect and greet each other" (Rainer maria rilke)

PHILOSOPHY

Be brave, be bold, be free, live it up, laugh it off, drink it down and carry yourself with honest delight and an open and loving heart

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
