I am an explorer of places, mindsets and cultures, embracing openness, honesty and good character.
As I learn about the world, I want to find novel ways to mindfully contribute to our shared reality.

I love to be out in nature, as well as stroll around cities and breathe in the culture. Instead of hunting sights, I like to pay attention to tiny details in less crowded places.

In company of others I like to learn what they are passionate about, and what their life lessons are. Above all I want that everyone has a good time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to learn from other people’s experiences and would like to know what their goals and life lessons are :-)
Also, couchsurfing feels like a win-win. I don't pay some greedy landlord, and we both might get unexpected gifts through our connection.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A helping hand around the house, no matter if as a cook or fixing something. In my past I have repaired a washing machine or parts of a piano.

Other than that I am happy to have a vibrant conversation, spend time quietly or go out. I embrace diversity and serendipity!
