I like to be healthy, happy, help others and live simple.

I don't consider myself a tourist, but rather a traveler

I don't drink alcohol and just recently stopped eating meat, but I think I can still have a great time hanging out and chatting with people.

I am not big on presents and souvenirs, so as a host I don't expect any and as a guest I won't bring any.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Helps me meeting locals and experiencing different cultures better during my current backpacking trip through Asia.

Interests

Listening to, playing and making music. Hiking and Nature. Teaching, learning and thinking.
New challenges.
Vipassana meditation (great way to improve oneself and also helps with learning how to live life better and happier)
Recently I got into Sound Bowl Healing Therapy, so I travel with one sound bowl and I am willing to give a little sample.

I used to do lots of busking (playing in public places for money) (I financed part of my travel that way) So sometimes I like to go out in the afternoon and evenings, depending on the place, and play music.
I also already had some private performances at dinner events or restaurants.
Further, I started giving presentations about my travels. So far I had appearances at hostels, some stores and restaurants as well as schools.

Also helped one of my hosts managing his restaurant and his hostel when it was in its beginning stages.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Current 2 1/2 year hitchhiking and backpacking tour through Asia.

Teach, Learn, Share

Work smart and smooth, improve and keep it light.

Since I like music and travel with my guitar I would like to learn one famous / traditional song from each country I traveled to.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Someone to chat with. Help around the house.
I travel with my guitar, I play all kinds of songs.

I won't be able to bring any presents from my country since I have been traveling with my backpack for a long time now. But I hope that exchanging stories, experiences, and just enjoying life together will do! ; )
