10.2022: Covid update: 3x vaccinated and 1x recovered 🦠

I like travelling and learning about people and their culture.
I am an open-minded and curious guy and I am adventurous about many things.
I am polite and friendly, easy going and down to earth. I also like to meet friendly and openminded people and want to make friends.

Philosophy:
- The kindness you put out into the world always has a way of coming back to you.
- promise me, never ignore someone who cares about you, because one day you will realize, that you lost your diamond, while you were just busy to collect simple stones.
- You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it’s better to listen to what it has to say. (Paulo Coelho)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Many years ago, I read about couchsurfing in a local newspaper, and as I wanted to know, how it works, I registered and I tried to get some experience.
After several years now I could gain experience. Almost all my expectations were exceeded in a positive way. 🙂
Please continue being my guest or hosting me.
