ABOUT ME

Rational, curious, humorous. (You pick the order ;-))

I like to explore during the day and then sit down with people to share a story and a beer to learn about them and their cultures or just to enjoy the time.

CURRENT MISSION

I know I can't taste every beer there is in the world - but I can try...

PHILOSOPHY

I like to meet new people, have something to drink with them and talk, thereby learning about other cultures or just having fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Exploring and learning about the world is best done traveling as a local. Getting a different perspective to see the world.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Out of sentiment, I leave my words from Oct 2005 when I just joined: Right now I'm at the space congress in fukuoka, before in hong kong I learned of couchsurfing by doing hospitalityclub. I'll update my profile when i have a little more time, just to let you know why it is so blank here....

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:
Short History Of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson

Movies:
Sci-Fi, Comedies in general but really anything that makes you think and learn or laugh.

Music:
Alternative Rock (Green Day, Skunk Anansie, La Vela Puerca, Heather Nova, K's Choice, Die Toten Hosen) but Radio Pop is fine as well. I'm not into Techno, Rap and HipHop - although lately I'm trying to be more open-minded ;-).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having a car ride with a Romanian cosmonaut driving and an Apollo astronaut on the passenger seat.

I ate spicy food in Thailand!

A mind melt with a Vulcan.

Floating on the Dead Sea.

Teach, Learn, Share

Space. I love talking about space, so here's your chance to ask me all those questions you always wanted to know even if they may seem silly to you.

Oh, and I can show you how to open a beer bottle with a newspaper ;-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

See the Teach, learn, Share section.
In addition, with hosts I can share a drink and a good time. Seriously, just let me know how I can help.
