About Me

Currently (from 28.06.19 to 27.07.19) travelling around Japan with my sister.

My sister's CS profile can be found at https://couchsurfing.page.link/bV2qZ6vDNVDtgzpH7

I'll be in back in Tokyo from 21.07.19, looking to see new things, decompress and hang out. Hopefully to also say hello to a dog and find a beautiful ceramic tea cup.

Music, Movies, and Books

Nils Frahm is dominating my playlists at the moment, but I don't really hold allegiance to any particular genre

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time, I held my breath for a full minute. Was it amazing? Not really, but I felt kinda woozy afterwards.

Oh wait, here's an amazing thing I've seen. The look on my 88 year old (late) grandfather's face after my family and I had sent him on a tandem skydive. Priceless.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm confident I'll learn something from you, even if you're not trying to teach me anything in particular.

I know a little bit about odd bits and bobs, archaeology and boats. Also, I've been told that I cook an excellent omelette and I've seen no need to object to such high praise.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sincere appreciation for your hospitality, maybe even a decent home cooked meal if you're in a daring mood.

Australia, Austria, Colombia, Croatia, Ecuador, Estonia, Fiji, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Panama, Philippines, Poland, Russian Federation, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States
