Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing taught me once how to interact with strangers in a way they are less strangers, and more friends to be met. I hope to re-learn that mindset again

Interests

Due to problems with my joints, I am only slowly rediscovering physical activity as part of my life. Though I am determined to continue getting slowly get back to Parkour and long-distance hiking! ;)

Psychological research has become a large part of my life over the last couple of years. It is fascinating what researcher found out about how we function, but seeing any real world interaction stays humbling to research still.

I love exploring tech, and will likely ask how you interact with your technical companions :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

3 months of long-distance hiking through Germany and France. Only stops were couchsurfers along the way!

Road trips in Norway and Scotland!

Jumping over boulders in Fontainebleau, doing Parkour with 150 other lovely people for a week straight. Done 4 times so far, and hope to continue doing that!

Teach, Learn, Share

Tell me where to find a great hike, and you made me happy.

I have tried many productivity tools, but I am also open to learn more!

Not sure I can teach it, but I practices my pun-fu extensively :D

I also like to share a simple chat, can give some encouraging words, or give good hug when needed.

Would need some prep, but I can run a beginner Dungeons and Dragons round, if you'd like to try it out ;)

If you love fantasy, I bet I can recommend a book to you - and if not, I am happy if we can exchange reading list ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My vegan cooking and backing were mostly functional in the past years, though I'd love to do some cooking together!

I would be happy to just sit and talk about the world, the past, and possible futures.

And I can help with tasks in the household :)
