About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to get a slight idea of the world I live in and finding a good way to hold me on my board surfing on that huge wave of life.

ABOUT ME

I'm open-minded, liberal, frugal, friendly, easy going, social but introverted, flexible, humorous, sarcastic, honest... and much more you have to find out by yourself. I'm currently working as a research assistant in environmental science at a research institute in Taiwan. I' generally interested in everybody and everything and life is a journey where I can explore and discover everyday.

PHILOSOPHY
“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” - Oscar Wilde

"The hardest thing in the world is to simplify your life. It's so easy to make it complex." - Yvon Chouinard

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” - John Lennon

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm interested in hosting, surfing and meeting people. Besides just gabbing my tent and staying in the wild, I think couchsurfing is a nice way of getting around and meeting great people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm just at the beginning! So far I had unforgettable memories and met awesome people! Looking forward to my future experiences!

Interests

I love traveling, meeting new people and getting in touch with new cultures and languages. I like to discuss with friends and other open-minded people about pretty much everything. I'm into environmental science, nature conservation and finding alternative, sustainable ways of consuming and living. At the moment I'm working on fighting food waste, getting more into gardening and going on hikes. I generally love doing sports and just being outside! I pretty much start getting interested in new stuff nearly every day....

I recently experimenting with fermentation and plastic recycling!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm open to everything, let me hear, watch or read it and I will tell you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For multiple reasons I'm always ending up taking the least convenient way... which often gives me hard, but very special and unique times.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm open to share anything. I like to talk about the environment, politics, ethics, culture, sports, traveling and all kinds of other things. I'm pretty interested in nature, farming, ecology, hydrology, land use, climate, sustainability, food, environmental conservation and more of that stuff ;-).

What I Can Share with Hosts

So far I spend most of my time in affluent societies. There is free stuff everywhere, lets go, get it and share it!
Lets hitchhike together :)
