I am an optimistic person, born on Februar 8 and interested in enthousiasm. I like to be sensitive for what comes up as meaningful to say or to do. To develop this step by step satisfies. It helps that since more than 20 years I don't have a boss anymore.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a student I hiked and once I askes a Scotchman what made him stop for hikers. He replied: 'well you know, a stranger is a friend you don't know, so I picked you up'. This statement felt like a revelation/revolution to me. I learned that the world can be seen as one family, and that judging is just showing my lack of conciousness. Couchsurfing I think gives the possiblity to taste the universal uniqueness of each of us. It reminds in a way to 'the golden rule': treating others as I would like te be treated. In order to share a better, less fearful world.

Interests

I like encountering people, sharing what is meaningful for us, what gives life.
Nature, long distance walks, gardening, swimming, photography, art!, visiting theatre with friends. And since my childhood I 'm facinated by airoplanes and flying. Finally I 'm getting now and then lessons in a small motorglider, exciting!
