ABOUT ME

All about me & my kids: would be daring to put online and not desirable, for myself anyway. My full time job and my daily 53 miles commute make it difficult to have fun with my kids during the week. We leave the house at 7:15 in the mornings and in the evenings there is just enough time to catch up with errands and all sorts of duties. Fortunately there is some spare time left during the weekends. We jump on the trampoline in our garden, play outside or inside the house, or we do something in our amazing surroundings. We live in the Alps, where we play in the woods or plains, hike, play at lakes or swim, go ice skating, sledding, skiing, snow boarding on ice and snow. During the week I sit in front of my office computer all day (yawn, dream) to do what needs to be done for our sales and marketing department, for our customers, and for the living of my kids and myself. My brilliant colleagues design and construct laboratory equipment for integration into automation systems all around the world. Small company, diverse colleagues, and amazing technology products are wonderful, so in a way I do enjoy this work. My 4 kids Selia, Joshi, Ennio and Kalena are all in high school. The afternoons they often spend with their friends. They were born in 2002, 2003, 2006, and 2008. Two of them came into this world in Monte-Carlo (Monaco) and two of them in the Alps (Garmisch-Partenkirchen). Their mom lives in Palma de Mallorca.

PHILOSOPHY

I am not a philosopher.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My kids and myself have couch surfed and hosted from time to time. However, it is not always easy to host couch surfers, as our house is fairly small for the 5 of us and we are so busy with school, work, and housekeeping. If someone does not mind, just ask. If you wish to get together for a chat, let me know and we’ll see if it works out.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

With my kids we have couch surfed and hosted and it was always great. Whenever our time and space allow it, we will do it any time again.
