Inquisitive, intelligent, respectful, sometimes daring. I go with the flow most of the time and spontaneously decide on plans.

Foodie. Hunting for local culinary specialties often drives my travel routes. Big coffee snob too 😀

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet locals and see their home through their eyes.

My very first CS experience: I surfed for a night in Sendai, Japan and joined my host and his friends to check out the Oktoberfest in town. Totally unexpected and awesome! That sold me on CS.

Interests

Too many things interest me. Is that a good or bad thing?

I'm up to try anything at least once, and what interests me changes daily. I can be in an arty/hipster mood one day, then want a taste of something high-end the next, then just a simple movie night in the following day.

• dancing
• dining
• cooking
• recipes
• beer
• coffee
• traveling
• jazz
• karaoke
• hiking
• bungee jumping
• skydiving
• science
• food
• fine spirits

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: prefer comedies, thrillers, and dramas.

Music: depends on my mood, but often jazz.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some that stick out in my mind: camping in Shiretoko National Park, sandboarding at the Tottori Sakyu, eating Kobe wagyu in Kobe, and shukubo at Koyasan, skydiving over Lake Taupo, hiking the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, doing the world's highest bungee jump in Macau...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my appreciation of science and food with you. I love cooking and would enjoy sharing home-cooked meals.

And travel stories are made to be shared!
