ABOUT ME

I like to grab every opportunity in life that I am capable of grasping. This has brought me to many places around the world, and in many crazy situations. I love being surprised time and again by the goodness of people around the planet every time I am in need for help. Similarly I try to offer a helping hand to whomever I can (and is not obviously trying to fool me). I can be really serious on things I care about (music, nature, philosophy, what not), but just as well completely wacky. I like to take life not too seriously [we don't have time for that as a wise Indian once said], but at the same time I can seriously enjoy.

PHILOSOPHY

Amaze and be amazed

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Curiosity mostly. I love life and its surprises, and CS can provide many

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Once upon a great time in Oslo, some adventures in Quintana Roo. In fact I have spent many nights in the houses of 'strangers' all together, as a result of hitchhiking, hiking and/or biking trips, but outside the couchsurfing online network.

Interests

- I'm an ecologist and love the natural world around us. Little more can make me happier.
- And so, being active outdoors (climbing, running, cycling, et cetera)
- Philosophy, reasoning, discussing, pondering, meditating
- Music (various genres, from jazz to hiphop to techno), I am a (jazz) drummer and play a bit of guitar.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music above all: creativity and connection are very important. The feeling a song transmits to me. This can be in a lot of genres. Rock, Jazz, Hiphop, Reggae, Techno, Drum 'n Bass and Triphop are among my favourites

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

3 months of learning the ethnobotany, ecology and cultural aspects of rural home-gardens (tree-based family gardens) in rural Southern Mexico (Tabasco state).

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share knowledge in every way. Lately I have been building up knowledge especially around gardening, organic farming and permaculture and Central-American cultures. I also love to learn more from others (including culturally and linguistically!)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Many interesting details about the world around us, specifically food and plant-related.
