Sometimes I am a bit reserved at first. And will open up eventually, if the company is welcoming. This is actually not my real self. But too many hours working in an unhealthy environment and being formerly married to a narcissist kinda made me this way.

I recall in my youth.. when being very open and welcoming everyone and everything. It is a good question what is a healthy way. For sure not the one I have been following the past years. This is why I want to connect with people again. Believe again and see again the good. Bring my shiny self again outwards.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
Opera, pieces from the heart! The real masters of epochs long gone by. All the modern stuff with all the electronic "improvements " isn't my thing.

Movies:
I love special movies. Long ago I was a big Bond fan and binge watched all of them multiple times. A long time ago Indiana Jones was one of my favorites! So many movies in my memories. I'm sure we find something to discuss about in this section!
A recent movie I watched and enjoyed a lot is: 'les aventures d'adèle blanc sec'.

Books:
Arabian Nights (1001 Nacht), The artist's way, Sandy Meisner on Acting, The Bible (so interesting! I am not really religious though, especially not fanatic about it), The little Prince (Saint-Exupéry), ......

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to recall. Has been quite a while. Which is why I intend to do this couchsurfing thing to "live again"... but I'm sure I eventually will recall some of them...

Skytree in Japan was very impressive for me. Desert Safari in the UAE with jeeps, Desert safari in Egypt with Camels, Diving in Elba, Elegantly getting out of Mafia Club situation in China, The temple visit and experience during morning ritual in Japan including Calligraphy courses, the sitting in winter under warm heaters outside near Townhall place in Prague while romantically involved with the girl on the other side of the table.... ohhh memories!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversations. Exchange of experiences. Teaching Languages. A good cigar to smoke together. Creativity. Broad knowledge in many fields :)
Anything that improves the being together really
