I love sailing, scuba diving and free diving, hiking, climbing, slack lining, meeting with friends, have a laugh, travelling...

Warum ich auf Couchsurfing bin
I think it offers great opportunities for creating mutuallistic relation that bring people together. I want to learn from other experiences and knowledge and love to share mine too!
Musik, Filme und Bücher
I love funk, jazz, reggae, manouche jazz... As a bass player, anything that grooves will make me happy! I am part of the Big Blue generation (probably part of why I became a marine biologist) but I also love Delicatessen and all Jean Pierre Jeunet's films (the city of lost kids, etc.); The Big Lebowski is another favorite of mine along with Dikkenek and many others! One of the greatest books I read was Shantaram and really like Jack London books!
Eine tolle Sache, die ich getan habe
Crossing the Atlantic on a sail boat!
Lehren, Lernen, Teilen
A s a marine biologist I have a good understanding of natural systems and processes that take place in the ocean. I use to train people to dive and conduct environmental surveys in the Philippines and got to know a lot about tropical reefs during that time. I am very interested in nature as a whole! Huge topic!!! I am happy to share the sailing and navigation skills that I have and keep on learning about those. I believe in staying a student of life. There's so much to learn!!! But in general I like to share about life experiences and philosophies!
Was ich mit Hosts teilen kann
I can share the good vibes, jokes, knowledge and stories of life. I am also happy to help with anything inside the house and daily housekeeping activities, cooking, dishwashing, etc...
Meine Interessen
At the moment I try to learn a maximum about sailing. That includes navigation skills (including natural navigation with stars, wind, swell, etc...), boat maintenance, the world of leisure sailing, etc. I love the outdoors and sharing time with good people! I also love to share about sustainable ways of living, finding out different models of alternative life that involves using local resources and skills and minimizing carbon footprint. I used to work in NGOs that "managed" marine protected areas as well and love to share ideas about those.
