About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Become an artist - or Feldenkraisteacher - or...?!

ABOUT ME

Likes to laugh and see the best in people and things

PHILOSOPHY

Oh my - is this my "elevator-pitch"? Well - life long, prosper and don´t talk in fortune cookies unless it´s necessary.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In the last few month I hosted most of the time - although I´ve peeked at couchsurfer-hosts in different countries to get a feeling for great hosts in that country.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Recently I have already hosted more than 19 people. That was quite interesting: I learned more about Latvia than I thought I ever would and I got to know much more about Europe and New Zealand.

And my experiences with couchsurfing myself were superb - this is such a good system!

Interests

At the moment: copying funny remarks from here:

Before you form an opinion about someone - first walk a mile in their shoes. After that? It doesn´t matter - the person is a mile afway and you´ve got her shoes!

Es kommt nicht darauf an, was man macht, sondern wie man dabei guckt.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Can ride a unicycle (a bit).

Once designed a logo for a death metal band (he is a friend). Am designing a logo for another friend

Have seen solar- and moon-eclipses.

Teach, Learn, Share

I`m a Feldenkrais-teacher.

You can learn the starting of juggling if you announce it early.

Share? A laugh hopefully?
