About Me

As a child I wanted to be a pilot. To see new horizons, but also to connect other people to new places. Thirty years later, I am not a pilot, but I help companies connecting to new places and markets.

I am a consultant and manager during the day, and an amateur mixologist and food tester in the evening.

#Values: Optimism, responsibility, improvement and passion
#My fav quote: Sometimes the most scenic roads in life are the detours you didn't mean to take.

I like to explore new places, meet new people and collect moments rather than buying things.
That´s why I like the idea of couchsurfing. At the end, it´s not only about the things I´ve seen. It´s more about, the way I´ve experienced those moments as well as about the great people I met on my travels.
