I'm a physicist, math teacher, pianist, & writer with an interest for almost everything, curious to meet new people and embark on new adventures! :)
As a guest, I don't make much noise, am very tidy, communicative, careful, adaptive, and an early sleeper.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In the long run, I am using CS to host inspiring people in my home and hear their stories. Currently however, as I have no my job or apartment and am embarking on a few weeks of experimenting and developing my next life setup, I’d like to use CS to meet people who’ll inspire me and have me in their homes! I’m not a super experienced Couchsurfer yet but so far my experiences have been very touching, inspiring and have given me a beautiful sense that we are all kind of a big caring family, and I strive to meet that spirit. I can be a buddy to play piano with, a conversation partner on spirituality, a coworking buddy, someone to do art with, a running partner, a person to goof around with and play improv theatre in a park, … :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A moment I cherished a lot was sitting down next two little children dabbling around at a public piano in a train station in Belgium and starting to accompany them. It made all of us very happy I believe :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you piano and some concepts of general relativity/cosmology/astrophysics. I can introduce you to weird little food quirks I have (lentils as cereal for breakfast is a favorite). Lately, I think a lot about life design, music, writing and spirituality (I‘m Christian). I consider myself reflective and radiant, and we‘ll have lots to talk about!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A curious soul, my enthusiasm, warm heart, a running buddy, and some classical piano playing :)
