Easy-going and well-travelled, curious to get to know you and your story. I like being out and about, especially in nature - hiking, cycling, running. Pescatarian (no meat, fish ok). Enjoy a glass of wine or beer after a good day's work..

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I used to host and surf quite a bit, now mostly enjoy meeting other members and having a good time together. Also on BeWelcome.org.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I listen to piano, chello or guitar background music almost all the time (while working), and enjoy mostly classical music, jazz, bossa nova etc. Dance, trance and techno in earlier years. Hip hop if the mood is right..

Books: historic novels or anything which entertains and informs. (Auto)biographies can also be fascinating - I wish I had more time for reading..

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Snorkeling next to turtles on Lady Elliot Island, Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia: amazing.

World's highest bungee jump and Skydiving in New Zealand (back in the wild days).

Completing three years of full-time doctoral study. Then, building a now successful web business from scratch (took another three years..)

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can tell you about the places I've lived so far, especially New Zealand and Catalonia (Spain). Germany of course (that's where I grew up).

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

A smile, a laugh, a bottle of wine with dinner, a good conversation, my "green thumb" around the garden, stories.. play with kids!
