About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying life to the max, being the best father I can, the best doctor I can,

ABOUT ME

I'm a family physician and I love it. I love helping my patients, trying to take the mystery out of medicine and the worry that accompanies most sickness.
I think a good meeting with the doctor is all many people need, and I am constantly trying to improve my skills for a therapeutic consultation. My five children are very important to me, and I strive to be a good father and spend fun time with my children.
I also aim to enjoy life myself - because it gives me the happiness and calm I need to help others.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life.
Do good.
Be proud of what you do and how you live.
respect other people and try to have positive nurturing relationships.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

New experience for me...
I like people, I like helping, if offering a bed and friendly face can help a traveler great!
I would love to get to know local residents in places I visit...and I don't like hotels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've enjoyed surfing in Zurich and Krakow...
CS is a very pleasant way to meet new people and experience cities from the prespective of the hosts.
It makes traveling much more personal.
