About Me

Global citizen, trying to help humankind turn the climate crisis into an opportunity.

CURRENT MISSION: Accelerate the transition from the fossil to the solar age.

PHILOSOPHY: The world is my favourite place. I want to explore all its beauty and keep it nice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We host people in San Cristóbal all the time, and when I travel I often meet or stay with friendly people and make new friends. I really like intercultural exchange.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been welcomed by friendly people in all kinds of different countries and situations. I would like to give something back.
If you are travelling, also check out the "original" world wide web of friendly people at www.hospitalityclub.org!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If you come with an open heart and mind, you will find out many amazing things.

Teach, Learn, Share

In general I really like to connect with people who want to make a contribution and not just surf couches for their own benefit.

I am working on a number of projects such as LINGO (http://leave-it-in-the-ground.org/), Plant-for-the-Planet (http://www.plant-for-the-planet.org/en/home) and Ts'unel Bej (http://tsunelbej.weebly.com/). If you would like to contribute to these projects, please be sure to get in touch!

If you are looking for ways to make a contribution in Chiapas, I can surely recommend ways and hook you up with the right people and initiatives.

What I Can Share with Hosts

How to learn to speak a new language.
How to live on planet Earth without trashing the place.
I can bring something from Mexico if you let me know in time.
Information about the countries I have lived in.
Aha experiences. If you are open new ideas, I am sure I'll have some deep insights to share. If I am not able to produce an Aha experience for you in the first ten minutes, you can kick me out! ;)

Countries I’ve Visited

Cuba, Democratic Republic of Congo, Guatemala, Morocco, Norway, Peru, Poland, Spain, Thailand, Turkey

Countries I’ve Lived In
