ABOUT ME

Hello everyone, it's Daniel here!
I am an avid tea drinker and rain praiser.
I hugely enjoy training Taekwondo/Basketball and always want to try new sports or martial arts.
Also love bathing and spend time with my hair dryer (Oh! That lovely warm air that fondles me...)

PHILOSOPHY

Feel more, think less.

Learning/Practice show the way of truly important values in life.

Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, master it.

Share your inspiration with the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope sharing, help and meet new people here !

Interests

- Learning languages or anything involved with them (Linguistics, grammar, facts about learning/teaching languages...)

- Cooking (I like trying and learning new meals)

- Improving my piano/keyboard skills (I started practising last year and learned a few songs, just on my own. I like the sound and feeling it produces.)

- Training / Competing in sports. (I am not competing at the moment but I spend years figthing in Taekwondo competitions and playing in some Basketball leagues. Maybe I will return to competition in some time.)

- Having tea and learning things about it (Tea culture, sorts of tea, history, tastes...)

- Amusing myself reading, writing, bathing, thinking, listening to music, missing places and people, smiling when remembering good memories...

- Gaming (Casual gaming or pro-gaming skills in Tekken, Soul Calibur, Starcraft, League of Legends. At the moment I do not play that much but some years ago I liked to improve my gaming skills and join tournaments. Anyway, I always enjoy some fighting games matches!)
