About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Create a successful startup and travel the world!
ABOUT ME
We are a happy couple who loves traveling. Open minded, always trying to learn new things. I used to be a physicist. I now work in renewable energy and I'm trying to start my own web company to promote clean energy. Sarah is a medical doctor, one year away from finishing her training to be a fully qualified family doctor (GP). After that we want to travel around the world for a while.
PHILOSOPHY
to grow, learn and give
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
We like to meet new people and learn from their experiences. We love long interesting conversations, and showing people the local tips and tricks.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
We have effectively couch-surfed in Paris, London, Hamburg, Singapore, Aarhus, Copenhagen, Heidelberg, Saaremaa ... only not through the CS site but through our extended network. When we lived in the UK, we hosted a bunch of travellers and really enjoyed hearing their stories and learning from their experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share
Do you have questions about the universe? The galaxy, the stars, the origin of it all? Do you want to learn about Quantum Physics. I'll be happy to explain it for you :)
I'd love to learn new coding and design skills. I Also want to learn more about meditation, philosophy, ... but pretty much I'm always open to learn new things.
