About Me

Hey, Ciao, Howdy, don't be a stranger! We are all earthlings. We all want a life with less suffering and more inspiration.

People will ask me often 'what do you do?' Well what don't I do! I had 3 jobs before but now I'm a teacher/lecturer at the University. Yes, everyone has to be nice to me :D. I also had my own business, I also worked in an office, and I also 'walked' for living. You know... trying different things.

My view on life is that it is an art! Don't conform to it, but rather, shape it! Do something new, different. Break the boundaries, but stay kind (also to yourself, don't let others abuse your kindness).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting people who expand my knowledge and challenge me to think differently about life. I am an open book, and I love learning. I am very curious by nature. However, I especially appreciate kindness. I am well-educated, so I do love to discuss various topics. I also really enjoy nature, healthy (balanced) living, exploring, board games, good food.
I am a bit more on the introverted side, but I definitely enjoy being social, just not all the time.

Interests

Some interesting things about me:

- I have a nerdy, geeky and sporty side to me. Basically, I enjoy working out my brain and my body. I really enjoy learning about life's amazing aspects, such as why people do things they do, why there is no world government, and how bees communicate. I find all of that fascinating. I also like good food and that means cooking.
