I am a passionate traveller, but rarely do travel, as I am equally passionate about my small consulting firm. I am in love with plants & landscapes - and that is what I do for a living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In terms of traveling, I am much less interested in the so-called "sights", even less in selfies in front of them.
What I love about traveling is the emersion in a strange culture, the everyday nooks and crannies and different mentalities. I can be quite shy, but also reckless at times. So I am willing to plunge right in, if I find an opportunity to do so.

I am not the easy-going-party-fun- and-small-talk chap, but you can have great conversations with me, if you are into that kind of thing.
