I love working with children, working with Nature, singing and meaningful exercise. I enjoy deeply understanding how things work. I'm somewhat introverted, don't be scared too early. :-)
Interested in Cooking
Fluent in English
Learning German
Pioneer Badge
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Because that's something I really missed before having CS: to relate personally to reliable local people, and to meet reliable travellers who might need my knowledge and sharing my resources.
Music, Movies, and Books
A cappella choral music (spirituals, barbershop etc.)
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I have sung (in the choir), helped the preparation and played my drum in a contemporary tale opera performance, The Enchanted Pig, of an amateur choir in Budapest (homepage already cancelled :-( ). Here is a trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfOPg_uzI9Q. Children and adults loved it. And we loved it, too. As an office worker I asked for a sabbatical and volunteered on a farm in South America and picked apples in New Zealand. When I learnt I would not be hired again, I started to work in international children's camps and outdoor education programs...
What I Can Share With Hosts
Housework, especially outdoors (garden and hardware). My cooking skills.
