About Me

I love to laugh, to meet new people and travel.
I'm always fond of constructive conversations that can make me change my opinion about a subject or help me form a brand new opinion.
Any human interaction that leads to learning and/or teaching is precious to me.

The expression "Crazy scientist " fits me well enough.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that it's the best way to visit a new place with the insight of a local. Plus, it's a great way to meet amazing and interesting friends.
I also find it to be a more intimate experience of culture sharing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Other than hiking in the Rockies, ...hum

I like to be original when it comes to my teaching methods.

In one of my classes we where studying torque and forces. Don't panic, this can be fun. I made my students do acro yoga in class to get a better feel for those notions. I think it worked. They had a blast. I had positive feedback even from those that hate anything that has the word yoga in it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching is to share what you know and it is also the best way to learn.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Livelihood, Life experiences, Cooking (i love cooking)
I come from a science background, which makes me supper curious. I love to learn and understand how the world works, and i also enjoy explaining it if you are curious like me. But don't worry, I wont impose it on you if you don't want to know. I just really enjoy the sharing of knowledge.
So if you have a kitchen and some curiosity, I can show you a bunch of science tricks.
That is on top off coking for you, which i would also love to do ;)
