About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Integrate the knowledge I have with the life I live.

ABOUT ME

It takes two to tango and the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. How I come out depends very much on who I am with.
I am quite pragmatic and to the point. I have strong opinions, but would probably not impose them on you. However if you are really interested I love a good discussion.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My offline life is rather busy so I am not very active participant in CS in the last few years. My contribution is in the form of occasional hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experiences with CS have all been very good so far, both hosting and surfing. I met interesting, engaging, diverse people - just what I value in CS.
The ones I enjoyed most were when we could establish a deep connection and share common cherished interests.

Interests

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT.
Integral everything by Ken Wilber.
Psychology.
Psychological astrology by Liz Green.
Healthy lifestyle: food/diet/macrobiotics, sports, yoga, anatomy, physiology.
Cooking. Dancing. Reading. Travelling.
