ABOUT ME

Hi everyone,

my name is Richard and I am currently working in Pune, India. I love travelling and love to discover new places. Currently of course my Focus is on India and South-East Asia. I've visited nearly all European countries although I always discover something new :) I've been several times in India, worked and lived there and love the country and the people. Now I ended up again living and working in India, we will see how lang I will stay here. I also visited Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam and plan to return there to see more. It's a fantastic region with an amazing cultural heritage, beautiful landscape and great people! Any questions, pls let me know :)
I used to do a lot of sailing in my free time, I also taught courses on howe to learn sailing at my university, so in summer I spent most of time on the water :) Littlebit difficult here in India, but I will Keep looking for some ways to go sailing here as well.
I love reading (if I have the time) and enjoy listening to music, especially Jazz, but I listen to basically everything.
I am very interested in foreign cultures, I like going to mueums and exhibitions and I also love theater and opera. This all keeps me quite busy :)
Well, that should give a short glimpse of my personality, I am helpful, open minded, adventurous when it comes to explore foreign countries but I also don't mind to chill a bit and relax. If you have any questions, just ask :)

PHILOSOPHY

I enjoy life and try to find a good balance between work and free time. There is no real philosophy, but I try to do the best of the time I have :)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I travelled through the US in 2014 I stayed with wonderful People and had my first couchsurfing experiences. I really enjoyed to get to know so interesting People and simply had an amazing time. I had also a lot of exchange students staying in my family during school time, we had people from all over the world and we kept in touch with them, so now I get friends of them to visit me and I visit friends of them, we help each other and I think that is basically the idea of couchsurfing, isn't it?

音乐、电影和书籍

I guess that would be too much to mention all of it here...as I said, Jazz music, as well as classicla music is my favourite, but I am open to everything. I love science fiction and thriller books, basically everything except scientific papers (after 6 years I got bored of them) and as for movies I also like nearly everything, excpet probably horror movies.
