About Me

I moved and I'm renovating my apartment

CURRENT MISSION

Be happy, and let others be happy too.

ABOUT ME

It's better to laugh than to be ill!

I work as a freelancer; I am a social psychologist trainer and coach. I teach others soft skills, mainly those in customer services or managers, but also others outside of traditional business professions.
I laugh a lot and talk and take a lot of photos.

I don't smoke or do drugs; however I do enjoy an occasional drink, usually wine...

PHILOSOPHY

What goes around comes around.

We become what we think.

Or long wersion:
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

I am grateful for that which I receive and can share with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people whenever they need it and sometime let them experience my every day life. If you behave yourself I might even let you walk Hugo! :)
I have also surfed a few couches - it's the best way to experience the world around you and meet interesting pepople.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I joined CS on 8th April 2009 and have both surfed and hosted several people already. It has proven to be the most exciting discovery! Other cultures feel quite literally closer to me now.
