ABOUT ME

I'm a respectful and kind person insearch of the next interesting travel destination. I like to meet new people and I'm very active. I do a lot of sports.
I also enjoy cooking at home and read a book. It's nice to have some time to relax and spend valuable moments with family and friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Make your own experiences and share it with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have only recently started with active couchsurfing. I have spend a few nights in Taiwan and Hawaii while couchsurfing which was really great. It was so nice to spend time with the hosts and to get to know the culture a little bit better. This is so wonderful while traveling around the world.
Once I will end my long trip around the world, I will also offer my home to couchsurfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Many times in Taiwan and it was the best I could do. Excellent and interesting experiences!!

Interests

I am very passionate about being outdoors and exploring the world around me by hiking. Hiking to the top of a mountain is the most satisfying feeling and looking all around you is one of the most amazing experiences. The fresh air, surrounded by trees, hiking trails, and jaw-dropping scenery is what I live for.
I love to cook and especially love to be inspired by seeing fresh and sometimes unusual ingredients when I shop, travel or just read a delicious sounding recipe.. it compels me to try new techniques, ingredients perhaps incorporating something different into my cooking repertoire. I also love learning regional foods and specialties whether traveling or at home (i.e. local fish, grass fed meat, amazing pastry.. ) and trying to incorporate them into a healthy menu.
But above all, what inspires me to cook the most is that it brings family and friends together in enjoyment around the table.
