Aaand - action! I am a professor of international relations, career coach and former diplomat. Love to dance, joke, cook, play aikido and taekwondo, and massage as a certified therapist if I like the energy.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

During my years of working at the UN, I travelled extensively and visited dozens of countries on all continents except Australia (don't take it personally, mates, there are rarely UN conferences in Australia). This became a habit ... ok, maybe an addiction to travelling. You know that airport feeling when you are with a boarding pass in your hand, heading to another world.
