About Me

Hi,

I'm Jonas and I will be traveling with my lovely girlfriend (Sami) as long as we can. Currently we live in Vietnam (Da Nang) where we teach (me) and cook (Sami, we had a small Iranian restaurant there). Sami is a beautician as well and has her customers here in Da Nang.
In 2016 we lived in Iran because it's my girlfriends homecountry (she grew up there until she was 18).
I am a teacher, in Ghent I taught Law and Social Psychology to 18 year old students. It's a job I really really love. Here in Vietnam I teach English for almost over a year.
So traveling is our passion and meeting other people our hobby.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because my girlfriend and I love to travel and meet local people, especially people who are offering their home.
During our trips, we met a lots of cool and warm people and that really made our trip.

Music, Movies, and Books

Jazzzzz, Blues, everything actually (hard question).
Books: "Im Stahlgewittern" (about a German WO I front soldier who survived the war (although he was shot 14 times) and became a sort of right wing anti - nazi political thinker in Germany). I know, it's complex but exhilarating!
"A short story of nearly everything" (Bill Bryson). What a book! He explains everything in such humoristic way that you want to become a scientist.
Favorite movie: Goodfellas (I am a criminologist...)
