Strong, but not rude. Kind but not weak. Bold but not bully. Humble but not timid. Proud but not arrogant. Up for everything, down to whatever.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I dislike tourist places which are overrun with selfie sticks, e-scooters and Segway tours. It makes it easy to find people from all over the world. As well being on a budget is a challenge. CS is the best way to build human connection on non-financial reasons and what is even more important, that everybody can show how local life is and tell their life stories.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach languares. Or how to play the essential piano. But I love to share my philosophies of life and talk about books.
I am open to learn to cook, get to know cultural aspects or new sports, but also interested in learning how to play the guitar.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am not very materialistic, that's why I don't have too many material things to share. Rich in wisdom. I can share my stories or my knowledge with you. If you need a hand, I am very likely to clean, tidy up and help wherever I can.
