I'm a scriptwriter, poet, lyricist, trainer, teacher. I travel 2-3 months a year. I used to do a lot of journalism & travelled because of that job. Easygoing, no hurry, big ears when needed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people while travelling - and at home, too. It's good to have hotels in the world, sure, but sometimes you end up in the tourist's space... Any way into the place and the culture and the people is a good way :-)

Interests

Movies, television, literature, music. Live music! (Well, I write lyrics myself.) Wine, food and the combination of the two.
