About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to see every country in the World.

ABOUT ME

I have a strong ethical code which means I won't steal from you, I will respect your views no matter how different they are to mine, and I'm a Pacifist. I served in Iraq in 2003, and I hate mundane boring work. Eventually I tired of the 9 to 5 crap and try to go backpacking at least once a year. I love meeting up with fellow travellers from all over the globe, swapping stories, tips, and dreams :)

PHILOSOPHY

Hmm...I think that God is within us all, and to know God you have to become closer to yourself.
Like the Oracle at Delphi had engraved above her temple: Gnosis Seauton.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just started, but will help anyone who asks for it, in any way I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not too much, but what I have done I have enjoyed. CS people tend to be the nicest people!

  • divinity
  • science

Music, Movies, and Books

All three play a major part in my life. I tend to like some genres more than others, but I have been pleasantly suprised so many times by branching out that I can´t narrow this down too much. As long as I can take something positive out of the media, it is good for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

You will have to get to know me :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I have had a lot of life experience, and now I travel from place to place sharing what I have learnt, while alway learning more in the process.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to discuss things other than the usual small talk, be it the issues of the day, different philosophies on life, entheogens, comparative sprituality, science fiction, fantasy, horror (in any media form).

I also enjoy comics (DC > Marvel), video games (with either,preferably both of gameplay and enjoyability - give me Zelda over COD anytime!)

Whoever you are, I'm sure our meeting would have an effect on us both :)

Countries I’ve Visited

Denmark, Malta, Poland, Switzerland, Turkey

Countries I’ve Lived In

Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Iraq, Italy, Kuwait, Morocco, Netherlands, Spain, United Kingdom
