About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting to know new peeps in Munich. Just reactivated my profile after a longer hiatus. I'll update my couch and profile pic soon.

ABOUT ME

... I´m a grumpy old man, isn´t that obvious?

PHILOSOPHY

Immature - a word boring people use to describe fun people.

The recipe for being happy:

- learn something
- do something new
- do something you like
- do something you have to
- do something you´re scared of
- do something for someone else

sounds pretty hard to achieve that, but it´s actually not. Just don´t think too big.

And btw, whatever you do - DONT PANIC! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While living in London I tried to make the best out of my one bedroom apartment and hosted people. As I like to travel on my own I really enjoy meeting new people and Cs is a great way to do so.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had a great time so far with meeting people for all kinds of activities/partys/sports/coffee etc.
Also hosted a few people and although I have hardly any time left for myself, I always enjoyed the company :)
Surfed twice now and it was always a travel highlight.

Interests

I think a list of everything I´m interested in would be too long, but for now I´m trying to travel as much as possible, meet new people and doing new stuff. Apart from that I´m also very interested in books, movies, music, all kinds of sports.

  • books
  • dancing
  • coffee
  • nightlife
  • drinking
  • clubbing
  • movies
  • socializing
  • music
  • kayaking
  • sports
  • beaches
  • mountains

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I listen to everything from Ambient to Z... is there a genre with Z? Anyhow, I dont try to think in genres, but just try to discover good music. Right now I´m into Dubstep and Pop Music.

speaking german and I can teach you how not to dance.
