About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Think postive, be happy and live my life in the right way.

ABOUT ME

I am an easy going and laid back person who likes to drink a beer, eat food and have a good chat or discussion.

I am very interested in cultural differences between countries and I am especially interested in Asian cultures. Every day I want to learn something new. In my free time I like to cook, play badminton, play capoeira and visit my family and friends.

Im studied International Trade and as a part of my study I picked up some Mandarin. I lived in Bangkok for a couple of months and did an internship there.

At the moment I am travelling around China.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think the CS project is a very nice initiative to bond different nationalities, cultures and religions from all over the world. It is good to see that there are so many kind people participating in the project. I am sure there are many more for who it might be very interesting to join. If I meet them I will make sure they know how to participate in CS!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I did not have any experience with surfing or hosting. I started my CS experience when I lived in China. During this time I met some very nice people and attended in a meeting with more then 20 other couchsurfers. From now one I am planning to meet more couchsurfers during my travels and when I am back in my country I can start hosting those interested to stay in my humble home.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to learn and I like to teach! I am always open for new things and I have problems with giving up. So if you want to share something with me you are very welcome

During my time in China I learned Taichi, Kalligraphy, Chinese painting and Chinese songs. Just got the oppurtunity and did it, it is great!

Happy sharing everyone!
