I'm a passionate primary school teacher, dad, behavioural scientist, traveler, blogger, foodie, and a sports and games fanatic.

I was, born in Vienna, grew up in Switzerland and moved for couple of years between London and Hong Kong and have my origins on the subcontinent of india, with which culture - or some aspects of it - I identify myself with (e.g. Yoga, Ayurvedic cooking, Goa, a colourful lifestyle, etc.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friends did couch surfing before and recommended me doing so. They had good experiences and since I am no stranger to such I wanted to give it a go as well. I've travelled and was hosted several times, now i want to give back.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've recently decided to become a primary school teacher, after years in the business world.

Teach, Learn, Share

Even though, constantly learning new stuff myself, like through a new education or new professional skills, I'd hope to share all this with the coming generation.

I also partially own a company that reflects this values: www.mirrorbell.com ;
We work mainly with children and other young member of societies in facilitating their full potential.

I'll gladly share anything. Also, I like to listen to people's great acdentures too :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My languages, my knowledge of cultural diversity, my cooking and a piece of my heart.. if we were to become friends that is :) *cheesy*
