CURRENT MISSION

Engage in my love of teaching, climbing, and singing

I only host weirdos. Tell me how weird you are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in trust and paying it forward.
I want to meet people with overlapping interests and share perspectives.
I believe everyone has something to teach someone else.

Interests

I am obsessed with tea.
I love to travel, especially by bicycle and train because you get to see so much more.
I love reading most of all: classical literature, poetry, non-fiction, graphic novels, science fiction, philosophy etc.
When not reading I like to watch international and arthouse cinema

The best thing I've ever read is The Brothers Karamazov. For graphic novels anything by Brian K Vaughn.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I completed a solo cycling trip from the Netherlands to Norway and then (after a month of WWOOFing) to Berlin.

Teach, Learn, Share

I collect and distribute puns like they're going extinct.
Always happy to learn more languages or help others.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have been known (especially when drunk) to share too much about the life of young Friedrich Nietzsche
