CURRENT MISSION

My mission is not to miss any Ions.

ABOUT ME

My mind is all over the place but I'm calm and respectful.

PHILOSOPHY

We only exist in the eyes of the other and because of each other. (I'd like to refer everyone to Sartre, Levinas and C.Taylor)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

What better way to see the world than through local eyes as well as your own eyes? Sharing experiences and views in an open atmosphere can no doubt contribute to a world that's more openminded and hospitable.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very positive!

Interests

Development cooperation. What is it? How does it work? How can it work? Has it worked at all and can it work at all?

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: anything but heavy metal. I love global sounds/world music and for a good night out give me Drum 'n Bass.
Book: the discovery of heaven, Harry Mulisch. Persepolis, Marianne Satrapi.
Movie: Persepolis.
Musical: Sister act.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Broken my back. My biggest fear turned out to be one of the best experiences in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

1. Who would you be without the people around you? We learn most from the worst; we can teach the best to the worst. Love and patience are the key.
2. Can you even imagine a world in equity? It is something we need to learn and strive for desperately.
3. Why are we suspicious when a stranger smiles to us? Surely something is wrong there!
