ABOUT ME

Curious explorer and smiling free spirit. Caring, honest and open-minded: I like exchange, new and old ideas, people and the little and big adventures, which make life intense.

Fun fact: for a period I used to work as freelance gag writer for TV late night shows

PHILOSOPHY

- Better try and fail, than not try and ask oneself the whole life "what if?".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

- get inspired and inspire by meeting brave or in one way nerdy people
- build new and hopefully deep connections
- have a good time

Interests

Some nerdy things about me:
- I enjoy measuring my life - literally - on Excel :)
- I like to regard many things as "composition problems": how to compose my journey, how to compose my life, how to compose my day

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Biobay in Vieques , Puerto Rico (surreal: bioluminescent water shines in the night, whenever you move it), Lençóis Maranhenses in Brazil (a magic place), Sentiero degli Dei ("Walk of gods"; an incredible hike in Amalfi, Italy), natural thermes in the sea in Ischia under star sky, Beach party in Bahia, Cinema da Mare in Sicily, Axé concerts in Salvador and Porto Seguro (Brazil), the magic atmosphere of white nights in St. Petersburg, Salsa private lessons in a big theatre in La Habana, the cultural melting points Istanbul and Tel Aviv, but most of all the amazing moments with the wonderful people I have met in my life

Teach, Learn, Share

I recently decided that I want to have sporadic part-time coach mandates as I enjoy helping others to grow. To practice my skills I might offer 1 hour of free coaching in the fields of personal effectivesness, personal development and career advice
