About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Speak every language of the world to help people communicate with and understand each other and thus bring peace to humanity and... Why nobody told me Mandarin Chinese was the one I should have left for the end? -- Currently struggling studying Chinese. And jazz piano. Which helps me from travelling so much currently, so I can host guests now!

ABOUT ME

Music + human beings + trees + good food = real good life

PHILOSOPHY

I don't understand the meaning of the word "bored"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Travelling and hosting, sharing experiences around the world... that is what it's about.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first travelled with a Canadian friend's CS profile, our first goal was to save money, but we had such a lot of awesome experiences with CS, we travelled along most of South and North America's West Coast for 3 months, met really interesting people, shared and learned a lot... Later on with my sister we travelled around China and Taiwan. I cannot imagine a better way of travelling than through CS now.

Interests

Sharing laughing cooking eating with friends, nature, hiking, horse-riding, learning all kind of things, playing music, teaching piano, observing how people live their lives around the world, art in all its forms... But I am very good at doing nothing too!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many amazing things, I am lucky.
One of them was during a trek with friends at 4000m above sea level between Illimani and Mururata mounts in Bolivia, being able to put back on my frozen wet socks and shoes at dawn after surviving one icy night in a wet tent without a proper sleeping bag.
