I'm an adventurous and welcoming person. As an engineer I solve technical puzzles at work. In my free time I like to go kitesurfing, running, playing chess, dancing and cooking. My friends regard me as peaceful, respectful, independent and empathetic. An overall chill person (non-smoker).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like traveling and getting to know people from different cultures and to connect through conversation. I believe everybody is unique and interesting in his or her own way. I also really enjoy opening my home for people to help them and to give them the opportunity to get to know my culture and surroundings. Back home I'm doing renovations and for this purpose I have invited several people to stay at my place for a longer time and to help out a bit.
