About Me

Friends call me the gentle giant as I'm 2m tall but very open hearted and welcoming. I like to share my stories, experiences and opinions but I'm not a solo entertainer so I also love to listen to yours 😉
Travelling for the past 3 years I found my love and passion in diving and recently in Yoga and Meditation. Meeting good people who are like minded and joyful is very important to me. I don't know why i haven't tried CS yet but my current explanation would be that I wasn't ready for it. I love to explore wherever I go. Nature is very important to me as I feel grounded and home in it. I believe I have to write better description but for now I hope it gives you a first glimpse of myself.
Anyway I prefer to meet people in person rather than writing something about me, but unfortunately it will probably depend on those few sentences above if you could be my host or not 😅
I'm a crazy cat person by the way but also get along with dogs and all other animals as I discovered recently 😻

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet wonderful people who love to share and care with and for others. Unfortunately I don't really have a home base at the moment but as soon as this happens I would be happy to welcome you as well.

Interests

I'm open to new experiences and trying all sorts of things. Everyday there is the chance to find something new I might never have heard about.
At the moment I´m mainly into Yoga (not jsut the physical part of it, all sorts of interesting stuff hide behind the term "Yoga"), Philosophy, Travelling, Cooking and Enjoying....I started to play the Harmonica a few months back if you´re interested in having a jam.

Music, Movies, and Books

Mostly electronic music but also jazz, classic, blues, latin, old school music from the 30s, rock, chill out, jungle rythms and open to many more. Music is very personal so don't judge me neither will I do with you 😉
I recently bought some reading glasses so slowly but steadily getting back into reading. At the moment a lot about spirituality and mindful ways of living but I also love romans and entertaining books.
Movies....where should I start? Watched a lot and will watch even more at some point. Big fan of nature documentaries and things that make me smarter rather than entertain me for a few hours.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed down a waterfall in Karijini national park Australia, trimmed a 30m tree without much safety equipment, dove down to 38,7m in Indonesia, saved a baby kangaroo 🧡

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always interested in learning new things and sharing my knowledge if I can. Especially in yoga and meditation as those are the most recent things I focus on.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, wisdom, laughs, experiences, yoga, meditation, help in and around the house, repairing, building, gardening, ask me something and I make it happen (hopefully 🤗)
