The CouchSurfing Wiki, an informal workspace which anyone can edit.
I am one of the founders of the WritingTravellers Foundation, an online project in wikipedia style to create the most extensive guidebook which can be uniquely printed on demand. [1]www.writingtravellers.com
My personal goal is to create something that is at least as good as other travel guides, but more up-to-date and uniquely printable. Next to travelling one of my biggest hobby's is Photography, I keep an on-line [2].

Favorite Cities
Kuala Lumpur, I love the diversity in the city and the petronas towers building is one of the nicest modern landmarks I have ever seen. Cape Town, I love the way both races come together in this stunning town! The beautiful table mountain makes it a photographers paradise.
Favorite country "so far"
Madagascar, this is a stunning place I loved the combination of endemic flora and fauna combined with beaches and excellent French cuisine. Hakuna Matata, I will come back Norway, the rough nature stunned me as well in this nordic! Belize, Caye Caulker was one of those place you stay and stay and stay. the little island that can be reached by power boat, with rastafarians beachcruisers and the worlds most excellent divespots (blue hole and lighthouse reef).
Favorite Island "so far"
Madagascar again, since its diversity of nature, parks and diving possibilities! Tobago, the greenest island in the whole Caribbean.
Wish list
Galapagos islands, French Polynesia, Argentina/Pattagonia, Transsiberia express and lots more....
