Shoshin - Beginner´s Mind

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

THIS IS NOT TINDER!

Getting to know the culture and the 'real' life in a country has the biggest priority to me.
South America has such a cultural diversity. Is there any better way to discover this diversity? I guess not. To me it was always the most authentic way to travel.

Interests

My biggest interest is in sports and, generally to say, in human movement. I prefer the objective of being a generalist rather than a specialist.
I love to spend my life outdoors. When I am at home, it is likely that you catch me outside with my dog.
I read a lot, both fiction and non-fiction.
Since a few months started to play the piano which evolved to one of my passions.

• cooking
• reading
• outdoor activities
• martial arts
• beach volleyball
• playing piano
• movement

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many things to mention.

But if there is something that I am pretty proud of and which is amazing (at least to me), then that people tell me, that I had huge influences on their lifestyle. Some quit to smoke. Some started to exercise more. Some changed their eating habits into a more healthy way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good times. Good food. Good talks.
