About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I love nature and as a biologist, and think we all have the responsability of finding solutions to the world's environmental problems. Therefore, I intend to work even more with environmental sciences, now in a area more directed to nature conservation.

PHILOSOPHY

The best you can do for this world is changing yourself and being there for other people, when they really need you.
Always learning and Forgiving. Non-violence. Having positive thoughts, avoiding negative thoughts and feelings... Smile as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Due to the Covid-19 pandemics, I am not able to receive hosts untill a vaccine is available... If possibel, stay home!
