I love to travel and to meet people from different cultures. I have the hope and often the experience of having a good conversation with the people I meet.
I enjoy yoga and slacklining. I love the outdoors, especially hiking. I love history, philosophy, and even politics, but I find it hard to talk about politics to most people, because the conversation is about demonizing people with different ideas. I recently recovered from being a vegetarian for over two decades. I love playful animals and they seem to enjoy me, but they have said anything in English about it.
Sometimes I say things that are mildly amusing and perhaps a little edgy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What I Can Share with Hosts

Perhaps I could roast some Brussels Sprouts and make some other dish? I hadn't really thought about his before, but this question is a good idea. I do believe that all interactions should be based on mutual trade and that we should give back some way when we are given something.
