About Me

I know couchsurfing for long but I have never used, maybe because the profile setup was taking longer than booking an airbnb and I was younger and more ignorant at that age too. But later I had the chance to meet and stay at couchsurfers when I travelled around South-East Asia and the people I've met and the experiences I had made me immediately update my profile. Ah I think it's obvious I love travelling but especially 'living' in the places I travel to, not only being a superficial tourist. Understanding other cultures gives me goosebumps. Throughout my escapades I have been a host myself for friends, friends of friends and sometimes airbnb. I have treated guests with style, the same I had the chance to be treated. I've lived in Vienna, Paris, Hong Kong and Bali. I have shortly visited many more. Now I work and live in Hong Kong . Sometimes my work includes traveling and instead of booking a hotel I prefer connecting and sharing my experiences with lovely open-minded locals.

Love you guys and see you soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the love of life and people and food and experiences and fun and perceptions and sharing is caring
For me, Couchsurfing is about interaction, and not about getting a free bed. But then also, comfy interaction with style, no pressure.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read some Jordan Peterson lately.
I enjoyed watching A shawshank redemption, seven, Irreversible and other french movies, Inception, Matrix, Deadpool, James Bond movies, Cocktail - indian etc.
They don't come now as I have watched dozens, but basicly I love movies that make you think, with something behind the scenes, psychological, but also with good humor.
I used to be a minimal techno music lover. Now I enjoy good jazz, sometimes classical music. I like good quality music, depending on my mood. Sometimes I listen to rock also, when a phrase is popping in my mind :P
