About Me

=Always play=

Choose your goal, give it enough time and will - it will happen, even if it was previously thought impossible. This is how humanity advances, we are living in an amazing world.

I see life as a gift that I spend learning and experiencing as much as possible. Also experimenting, and seeing things differently.

In my free time I explore the limits of body and mind, learning to be more gentle, stress resistant, kind and helpful.

For a long time I have been trying to understand more about myself, people and the world.
Through self-exploration, reading, making mistakes and learning from them, I am getting in better tune with myself, and those around me by listening, asking thought-provoking questions, and supporting others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Here to meet new people, getting their take on the world and widening my perspectives.

We can go explore nature and cities, ride bikes, camp, slackline and discuss human relations, psychology, health, technology, finance and business.

= Note =
Even though I would love to, at this time I might not be available to show you around a lot, due to obligations I have. Meanwhile, I can host you at my couch, my place is your place!
