About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a dreamer (meaning I usually live in the future with one foot in "now"), an adventurer. I love to travel, sail a catamaran hobie boat, be in the nature, cook and eat fine food, practice yoga, scuba-dive, read, listen to music, meet people. I enjoy fine arts, symphony, dancing, opera and beautiful landscapes. Learn new languages and cultures ...

PHILOSOPHY

Still work in progress but: Spiritual agnostic who believes in love, justice and fairness, tolerance, inter as well as intra-personal communication, mutual acceptance and tolerance, absolute philosophical necessity and inevitablility of peaceful unification.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While I am working on my PhD I don't expect to be able to travel a lot, so I look forward to any chance to meet a wide variety of people from all over the world. I have been told that I plan trips very well, so even if you are not staying with me, I'd be happy to meet you for coffee (we have plenty of great local cafes in Seattle) or chat over dinner and help planning your visit of the States.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been very recently introduced to CS! I have since surfed a couple of couches and met some very interesting people in Seattle and San Francisco. I am so looking forward to traveling a whole lot again as soon as I graduate!

Interests

Listening to music all the time (even while asleep), my research and teaching, taking long late walks, studying French, playing tennis, swimming, sailing, kayaking, rock climbing, outdoors, yoga, learning violin, going to symphony and opera

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sky dived to the theme of the Mount Rainier on the right and the Puget Sound to the left; Scuba diving ship wrecks and running into sharks;

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a passion for constantly learning. On the other end of the spectrum, I have been told that I am usually good in teaching and sharing in general.
