I am someone whom once you met, you'll never ever gonna forget :) Some say that I am too wise for my age, others that I am too kind but most people really enjoy my company and search for more. I am a psychologist-researcher-educator with an immense interest in human mind and interaction. You will find in me a rational educated opinionated intelectual (as a good friend from Scotland said: They didn't give you that PhD for nothing) with a wide life experience (I have lived in 5 countries by now and still counting) and good empathy and human insight. Travelling a lot and living as an expat for a quite a while now has given me a better sense of what (life) travellers seek and what hosts can offer.

... ah, and as a trained psychotherapist I can always support you with some cool life tricks (we all do have so many unattended suppressed emotions there, don't we ;) ). Also I am a yogy for life, so when in need for a stretch, I could easily teach you some moves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people. Pay it forward :).

Interests

Hiking, bouldering and climbing- being outdoor: Let's go to the mountains! I want to see the mountains is my life motto.

Reading: as a full-time researcher, reading is part of my daily routine. Apart from science, I read loads of fiction (in english, german, romanian or spanish)(I admit I do enjoy a good fantasy book), economy and politics, and of course self-development books.

Having smart conversations: the more we go beyond the conventions, the more authentic our connection will be.

Highjacking the sleepwalker type of existence: I like challenging the automatic pilot sort of existence that soooooo many people lead.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: oh gee!! there's not enough space to describe the complexity of this. I am a rock/postrock/psychedelic rock fan for life. I don't say no to punk rock or electronic music either. When we meet, we'll share band names and so on, as by naming some I will do de-service to others.

Movies: psychological thrillers &co; other non-Hollywood movies. I particularly treasure movies that are not in English. I have grown quite fond of German (language) and Spanish (language) original films ( as we know that the accents and the worlds of the people who speak these languages go so much beyond Germany and Spain)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camping in the night in the dessert with the berbers!

Teach, Learn, Share

What I can teach: life tricks ;)

Learn: every person I met teaches me something about myself and/or the world. So I would like to keep sustaining this process.

Share: loads of existential insight.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Talks and life experiences. A good word can make wonders at times.
