About Me

I am enthusiastic! About so many things. Swimming in a clear lake. Drinking sweet La Chouffe beer. Hidden beauty. Lindt chocolate. Sideburns. Dark, dark humour about death. Waves rolling towards me. Being hungry and fantasize about food. Blueish-green. Making people laugh. Being surprised by someone's view on something. Spring: birds are singing, but the leaves haven't started growing yet and it is cold. Scandinavia. Verveine tea. Discovering something. Spaghetti with spinach. Singing on the bicycle. Shameless hedonism. Steamed corn. Sailing with strong wind. Skating on empty streets. Traintravelling.

Sometimes I just sit at the couch and quietly drink a cup of tea. And listen to you perhaps!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is a nice crowd. Traveling globalists with ideals or people that just have the capacity to make a lot of carefree fun. Couchsurfing taught me that every person has the potential to become a friend of mine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Life is the most amazing thing. That's why I am a biologist, to study this daily.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am learning how to see the world from different perspectives so I get a better feel for what is actually there. I know why we can never see the "reality" and I can explain this to you.

I can teach you on the origin of life, but also on plants and birds and how biology can be used to interpret anything in life from this perspective. I can teach you sailing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Genuine interest in other people's believes and the patience to listen to them. I usually chatter about the things I know and am interested in, some of this might be useful to you :).
