I aim for a simple life, living on an old but gold boat on a gorgeous lake complex.
I work as a freelance training consultant, designing and running small-group training programmes in sales, coaching and leadership, for all kinds of companies.
I am easy going, curious, like to be generous and honest, and in my little way make the world around me a better place.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I travel a lot all over, for work and pleasure, mostly to or around the big cities. Connecting with people locally is best, to exchange, have fun, learn, give back.
I am not a rich guy, and prefer to spend my money with people!

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

A year's travelling in 1983 with my then wife, VW bus around Europe, Israel, Egypt, then 6 months India, Nepal, with glorious trekking in the Annapurna.
Living in Botswana in the late 70's and early 80's meant lots of wonderful trip in the whole region.
Likewise much work in Middle East, great to get to know the culture and top vibe.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

The wonder of this world! Places, people, culture, history, music, psychology.
I have a lot of experience work-wise, having worked in business and training for nearly 50 years across different regions, companies, time-frames!
I can also help people learn/explore piano & keyboards, and love to sing (harmonies) and dance.
