About Me

There are a lot of ways to define me. None is true. But my true self is the sum of all of them.

People say I am funny, that I am a poet and a philosopher. They say I am smart. But there are also who does not like me. Who thinks me arrogant.

Honestly I can only tell you what I do. I make women smile and men laugh. I love to teach, to know that I made you a better person but I love even more to learn and make this world a better place through making myself a better person. I am not telling you that I achieve that everyday. Just that I commit myself to do it everyday.

I am polite and calm. Enthusiastic (as my boss says). I love a good 'Good morning' and a sincere 'please' and a respectful 'thank you'. I hate to spend a day without learning a new thing. I watch the same movie a thousand times. Prejudice and ignorance are things that you will not see coming out of me and I do not encourage this sort of behaviour either.

Come meet me. I am quite sure you will enjoy. And if you don't you can always leave ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Low costs.
Low budgets.

Meet new people.
(I am picky. You better be a good person!)

Foremost: Go to new places and enjoy every good damn thing that comes along!

Interests

Go to a new place. A better place with better people and then become a better version of myself through new experiences and let people do the same.

  • culture
  • politics
  • swimming
  • philosophy

Music, Movies, and Books

Jazz, symphonies (Vivaldi, Strauss, Bach, Debussy,...), Bossa Nova, Samba. I am quite eclectic.

Batman. House...

Bhagavad Gita and philosophical stuff...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed a waterfall barehanded.
I jumped to wild ocean without knowing how to swim.
I rode a motorcycle without knowing how to do it.
The ONE amazing thing I've done was to ignore that I could be incapable of doing something and ADVENTURED myself doing it even though.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to TEACH people how to make this a better world.
I want to LEARN how to be a better person: wiser, more gentle, stronger and then be able to TEACH.
I want to SHARE the best version of myself: my knowledge, my experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I bunch of stories of my adventures in Australia, in Indonesia, In Thailand, In temples, Waterfalls, Mountains, Volcanoes, Oceans (under and above).

Philosophy... Politics... Culture...

Countries I’ve Visited

Indonesia, Thailand, United Arab Emirates
