CURRENT MISSION

Eat every single dish in Japan... even Natto... well maybe except Natto.

ABOUT ME

Well, how should I put it, I like taking the risk of making new experiences, but mostly it's not even a risk, it's fun! So I'm currently in Japan for a research project, a part of my PhD thesis in chemistry, well more like in chemoenzymatic synthesis. So I'm working with enzymes, which can be rather interesting, if they want my chemicals, if not... then I just take the next one.
I'm staying in Kosugi, Toyama-ken, for six months until early July and am happy to see around Japan, meet new people and exchange experience and culture. I have been to Indonesia, Prague, Brussels, Amsterdam and some german cities, but this is actually the first time looking for a couch to surf. Well, I know it's gonna be fun!

PHILOSOPHY

I am happily failing 100 times instead of not trying!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would offer my couch in Bielefeld, Germany, to any couch surfer who is going to be there, but honestly I don't know if Bielefeld is the place to be when visiting Germany ;) but nevertheless, mi casa es su casa!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far, but willing to change that as soon as possible!

Interests

Martial arts, Movies (especially those who bend my mind and say "you never so that coming, now did you?"), Music (Rock, Metal, Electro, well not all of it, but Chemical Brothers, UNKLE, Radiohead a.s.o), Biking, Hiking, Food, especially Fish, I would also like to eat a whale someday, but currently I couldn't eat it up, so it would be wasted... ;)

Teach, Learn, Share
