If you request to stay at my place with a friend, please include a link to this friend's profile!!

I'm an energetic and expressive man who enjoys the company of others a lot. I like having a good conversation about matters of the heart (and mind).

I'm passionate about Non Violent Communication (NVC). It makes it much easier to experience compassion for myself and it helps me to empathize with others.

I briefly practiced law, but I discovered I'd rather teach Pilates, than argue over money all day long. Giving Pilates lessons meets my need of being useful and it gives me pleasure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The reason why I'm couchsurfing, is that I like to connect with people and travel at
the same time. I don't have a lot of money to spend, but I'm willing to do the dishes and pay for the food in return for your hospitality.

Interests

Most of all I like singing. I do it on the bike, in the shower and even when I'm teaching Pilates. I recently performed in front of an audience for the first time and It went well! Yeah :-) I've even taken singing lessons and it improved the quality of my singing. I like being outdoors, going to the movies, dancing and playing football.
