About Me

I find the dynamics of communication with people more interesting than the statics of books they've written. I'm still not sure how I made it this far as a chaotic perfectionist.

Random facts about me:
1. If by any chance I locate a piano in the vicinity, there's a good chance that I'll immediately try it out in action, playing a thing or two. My relation to classical music is beyond words.
2. I may go on a trip with almost zero prep work to [sometimes pleasantly] suffer the consequences. That week of living on a carrot juice and cookies in the woods with a friend in a tent for one wasn't that bad after all!
3. In times before Corona, it's been fun to hop on a CS Hangout to experience the stream of spontaneous interactions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met many awesome people via CS Hangouts who showed me that CS as a powerful resource for finding soulmates and adventures. For me CS isn't just about discovering the outer world but also about opening doors to the undiscovered sides of myself. Let's share a journey?

Interests

I'm an amateur pianist, I also compose when I feel overwhelmed with life. Sharing an all-night talk with a passionate person has changed my life not once.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I managed not to crash an aircraft in the few seconds of controlling it.
