CURRENT MISSION

Keeping the traveling state of mind while working as an awesome teacher.

ABOUT ME

All work and no play makes Jerry a dull boy.
Although this should be a time in my life to get serious and start planning my future, I find myself torn between being good at my job and having fun on the side. There is just too much fun around to miss out on just yet.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to explore and to experience.
This now feels for me like a time to gather memories that will make me smile by the time I turn 80. Therefore I am anxious to meet new people and to find out what drives them and what their ambitions are. I want to meet more people that travel the path least taken, people that do things not just because they are supposed to be done but who actually think for themselves without adjusting to the prejudices from their surroundings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's my dream to one day make a big trip before I start settling down. Since my finances are currently insufficient for this it’ll probably be a long term project, but CS could make this dream a whole lot easier. Therefore I’ll start hosting couchsurfers first after which I’ll probably do some traveling myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After having multiple experiences with friends bringing couchsurfers along to party's and drinks I started to like the couchsurf concept very much and decided to participate.

Interests

Music, multiple genres and combinations.
Playing piano/trombone together with my big band or with some friends of mine who happen to be singing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: from Pixar to Disney, from action to comedy.

Music: anything that does not get repetitive, I tend to ignore lyrics and listen more to the musical instrument. Chords schedules, instruments and changing melodies. If I had to name genres: Jazz, Rock, Classical, Rock â

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have traveled to quite some countries across the globe (Australia, China, Egypt, Mexico, USA, Gambia, Vietnam) and have not yet seen enough.

Teach, Learn, Share

From my study I know a lot about the ethics, the psychology and business economics & marketing.

I can teach a bit of basic piano playing skills on my keyboard and if that doesn't work out, my accoustic guitar is there to play on.

I am very eager to learn more about other country's traditions in the kitchen, I want to learn more styles of food and how to prepare them.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Belize, China, Cuba, Egypt, France, Gambia, Guatemala, Ireland, Mexico, Spain, United States, Viet Nam
