About Me

My girlfriend has never been a couch surfer. You never can force someone into something, so she is my leading part when it comes to CS.
When she says no, she says no and thats it. When i'm going out, you probably have to leave as well and maybe you don't. But if you can't accept that, don't request.

We just bought a house so at the moment i probably won't be very eager to host. We have enough things to figure out and really like to have some quality time together. Having a host is a responsibility and i probably can't make that. Only if the request is really good, when we're feeling ok about it and we really having time to meet and chill, i'll accept. Otherwise it will be a big NO. Sorry for that. oh and don't forget to say 'bakubaku' in your request, just to know if you can read and that your not a robotic person -- William

CURRENT MISSION

co-exist

ABOUT ME

I love to dance, to listen music, to enjoy beauty in life and people, to be crazy, to think about where im going with my life and take another direction the next day, to laugh, to socialize, to travel, to hitch-hike, to bike slowly, to photograph, to walk, to talk, to make up own philosophies, to make theatre, created my own cardgame and love it, love to drink a drink, love the park, love the sun, love the autumn, love the snow, love the rain... my plan is to keep on doing this all till the last second... tick-tack-tick-tack smile!

What else to tell... maybe that i'm naief, i trust almost everyone, i don't give much about material issues knowing they can break, be stolen or disappear on the moment i become the owner of it... and i'm still alive while a lot of the stuff died... evolution probably!

well that was that, here is stop, lets talk some day about more!

PHILOSOPHY

Maybe Carma dont excist but if we all start to believe in it and act like it the world becomes a better place

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing is both about the meeting between people so they are equal to eachother. I like to talk and know my host, sometimes join a meeting or try to create one and hope i don't always will need a website to find a couch :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Did more surfing then hosting, but both are great to do. Every experience has is own qualities, but i try never to leave without a smile. Till now i am succesfull :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Changin' all the time! Naming one seems to exclude the other…

Movies (at least some of them): You and Me and Everyone we know, C.R.A.Z.Y., Hard Candy, The Sunset Limited, Before Sunset, Before Sunrise, Brick, Adams Apples, but so many more

Music (again just some): Scott Matthew, KT Tunstall, Bon Hiver, Thomas Dybdhal, James Blake, Glen Hansard

Books (a few): most philosophers (although haven't read all of them, it ain't a study) the alchemist, the kiterunner… just books that are about the relation between people in a deeper way then just the situation…
