About Me

https://medium.com/@jameshopest/the-death-of-couchsurfing-a87d9537edf2
I'd say I'm a positive person, at least I try as good as I can.

PHILOSOPHY

It is not important to be better than other people,
It is important to be better than you've been yesterday.

To rejoice the ordinary things means to enjoy one's life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I leave couchsurfing as the capitalist spirit is ruling this once beautiful community. Now the last drop has joined an already full bucket.

Interests

I like and do sports like mountainbiking, cycling, sometimes hiking skiing, snowboarding, sailing and kiteboarding. This is my passion.

I'm always looking forward to get a chance to combine these Sports with traveling, let's see what future will bring...

I'm interested in languages, I try to learn and use more and more of them.

Riding my motorbike is one of my favorite ways to travel.

A good conversation while relaxing and having a beer, thats a perfect way to let a day end or to get to know a person better, and sometimes to have a beer is not even important. ;-)

Music, Movies, and Books

Mostly Rock, Ska, Reggae but also a lot more. I'm always interested to hear some music from other countries and cultures and if you share with me the kind of music you like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meeting people you never met before and be welcomed as if we were old friends, and welcoming people I don't know in the same way.

Enjoying a traditional Finnish smoke sauna with friends in the north of Finnland.

Hiking and climbing on a mountain to see the clouds passing underneath my feets.

See the midnight sun over the see on a calm clear and silent night on the north cape.

Going ice-swimming.
