Fiscal conservative and social liberal. Outgoing and a bit of a joker.
I enjoy meeting new people from all over the world. Glad to question any belief in good spirited conversations . I am a big fan of rational thinking: argumentation over other forms of persuasion.
I am not a party animal but if you enjoy sitting outside with a glass of wine and talking, I am your guy.
I work on vessels at sea and I'm usually free on a monthly basis, so when I'm not at work, I'm home or on vacation.

PHILOSOPHY

Being on the road quite a lot, I'd have to say that home is not where you live but where they understand you

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I've had many folk crash on my couch, shown people the city of or just met for drinks. Every person has been a pleasure to spend time with.When I'm home, I'm happy to host and usually in the same holiday spirit of my guest travelers.
When travelling I enjoy meeting up with other CSfers and explore around.

兴趣

In no particular order : Chess, swimming , kite-surf, diving, snorkeling , cross-fit, jogging outdoor.
cooking, experimenting with food, wine tasting. Financial markets, geopolitics.
General discovery of the world around me I guess, be it music, cultures or otherwise.
Enjoy dialogues and good-spirited debates with other interesting, creative, open-minded people.

Teach, Learn, Share

教，学，和分享

From economics to nutrition, wine tasting, to food pairing, trading, investing, subsea texploration and life on boats, flying small airplanes. These are some of the things related to my profession and personal interests that I can talk about with some confidence but by no means it means that my interests end up there. I'm super eager to learn more about so many things and, most of all, to have good conversations with people that have a unique point of view on whatever subject.
