I've traveled to 108 countries in the last 25 years. I lived in India, Malaysia, Trinidad and Tobago, Egypt,
St. Maarten and Mexico for many years.

Love to have great discussions with people from around the world.
When traveling, prejudice decreases, understanding and compassion increases.
I love nature, hiking, biking, running and yes, I also practice yoga .
I love photography and keep an active website since 2002: www.iantravel.com

Currently traveling the world until June 2024, maybe more...
All my life, I have been teaching maths, physics and environmental sciences (high school, college and university levels)

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

THE COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE!

I couch surfed in Croatia, El Salvador, Philippines, UAE and hosted people in Egypt and Montreal (Canada).

Amazing people from around the world having a common goal on CS: sharing thoughts, food, and local habits.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

A short story of nearly everything by Bill Bryson.

I get dizzy reading on buses, so I also have audiobooks. right now I am really enjoying: "Why Buddhism is True" A nice mix of psychology, modern neuroscience research and old Buddhist texts.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Ran an ultramarathon in Andora in 2014.
Climbed a 6000 m mountain in Peru.
I learned Spanish at 35 years old, although language is not a skill I have! Math and physics are my everyday languages.
