CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I like asking a lot of questions, so you will find me either annoying or very curious about life :)

PHILOSOPHY

Two wise men are talking next to a pond. One of them looks at the fish swimming there and says: "those fish must be really happy". The other one replies: "you are not the fish, how can you know what the fish feel?"

And the first one replies: "You are not me, how can you know that I don't know what the fish feel?"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host, surf, attend the meetings and spread the word.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Positive! I've had only extraordinary experiences so far, both hosting and surfing. I have lived in different places where I could make a lot of friends and meet really interesting people, largely due to CS.

Interests

-nerdy stuff:computer programming, applied linguistics, philosophy, arts history-not so nerdy stuff: travelling, meeting people from different cultures, salsa dancing

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm an enthusiastic movie-goer and I spend a lot of time reading. I would quite happily spend months talking about my favorite films and books but I don't feel like writing a list here :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've lived in three continents with different people, scenery, food, languages, and lifestyles. This has been an extraordinary privilege.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am very interested in teaching/learning languages. Is anyone interested in learning Spanish? Does anyone want to help me practice my Dutch or Javanese? I am also interested in teaching theatre improvisation and in learning more about web programming.
