About Me

Rather unconventional, if you're ready to show up fully for what you are and be genuinely present then you're most welcome!

After a looooong break from Couchsurfing (lockdowns, you know...) I'm now very happy to host again - just drop me a request!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't include copy-pasted info about your trip in your request - just read MY HOME section, mention what you would like to do together and get ready to have an awesome time with me!

Also, before you ask...you don't need to bring me anything, just your smile and your positive energy :)

IMPORTANT: If you are traveling with someone please include their CS or FB profiles in your request

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it used to be a cool place when I joined in 2007 and I don't want to accept that it's dead now.

And because it's still full of amazing people ready to do something memorable together.

People who don't follow social conventions, who are not afraid to be themselves and accept others no matter how unconventional they are.

When I surf your place I step into your reality and am glad to adapt and discover who you are; when I host you I welcome you into my own reality and give you the chance to experience my truest self.

If you are ready for a real, genuine experience, just send me a request!

Interests

I don't smoke, I don't take drugs and I usually don't watch television. I also tend to avoid sugars and only drink still water but I do enjoy a night out partying because for me that's about the people I meet, not what liquid I put in my body ;)

I like to make plans and I love to break them, anyway plans are made to be broken so it's not my fault, I can't go against their essence!

I like everything that can make me feel a close contact with nature.
Whether it is a total mind and body immersion into a fully natural and unspoiled landscape, or a spontaneous and textile-free rejoining with the four elements in a small oasis taken away from urbanization, or whatever you think it reminds you that you are part of the universe, I'm definitely up for it.

Sports have always played an central role in my life (rugby, tennis, table-tennis, chess) although I now gave up most of them - edit: I restarted some of them and it's so frustrating to get back after a long break but also fun :D oh and I also took up a new sport, can you guess which one?

I believe in love, in all its forms. I believe the more you give, the more you are able to give.
Society often induces us to see love as a pie, where if you share it, you get less of it. In my view, love is not a pie and the more you share, the more you get.

I believe in human relationships, in all their forms. I live for them and appreciate their beautiful complexity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

400+ Couchsurfing experiences? Thank you each and every one of you for making this amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share almost all I have, I believe most things have little value if not shared.
When you share something its value isn't split, it's doubled.

Here's some this we could do together if you like (feel free to mention them in your couch request, or bring your fresh ideas to the table!)

1) If you're any good at anything like tennis (I have a court), table-tennis or chess (I can't remember where my chess set is but I can teach you to play blindfolded), then let's play!

2) I love questions games! Great way to get to know each other

3) Wheel of consent - 3-minute game by Betty Martin. Another great way to get to know each other

4) If you like to draw, I'll life model for you :) but I want to keep at least a picture of your drawing!

5) I enjoy being pushed out of my comfort zone (within boundaries lol) - if you enjoy it too, then dare me out of nowhere and let's see where it goes

6) If there is something you're really curious about but you've never dared to ask, seriously, forget about what society considers unacceptable, just tell me what it is and I'll give you the most transparent answer you could possibly get. Or if you have a bucket list of things you've always wanted to do but never got the chance, let's pick one and create a chance!

7) If you've practiced tantra or are curious about it we can explore that too. Or have you ever heard of partner yoga? It's my favorite, we can do some poses together if you're into that

Oh and by the way, if you're not into any of those things, that's cool too! Hit me with your suggestions or let's spontaneously do whatever we feel like.

TLDR just come, be yourself, forget social norms, be open to something new and have fun :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My friendship, my human warmth.

I can teach you blindfold chess, and help you discover more about your own personality. Yes, at the same time.
