ABOUT ME

I like a good meal, beer, joke, conversation or any of this things in combination. I like to meet new people and share stories.

I have been living in Hoi An since August 2013 and I am more then happy to share my knowledge about this beautiful place.

Actions speak louder then words, if you want to know more about me you can scroll to the bottom of this page and check out the reference section. It`s words as well, but they are inspired by my actions as a member of this community.

PHILOSOPHY

Life`s a cookie.

"Well, that's what I think Granny Rose, there is no solution to life but to live it." (Oscar in Oscar and the Lady in Pink)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been a member of this community for quite some time now. I have hosted people and I have surfed with people. Sometimes I even managed to show up at a CS meeting. At the moment I can not host people, but I am always ready to meet up for food or beers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A lot. I did meet more people through CS then I can possibly remember. CS has become a part of my life over time and has given me the opportunity to meet a lot of wonderfull people.

Interests

Martial Arts (Wing Chung, Eskrima), football, reading, meeting nice people, have a beer with friends (ok to be honest beer does not exist in singular), playing Magic, hang out in my hamock, discussing politics, philosophy and many more.
