About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore this planet and to go where no man has been before!

ABOUT ME

Easy going and always up for action. Adventurous, up for a laugh and like to talk about all kinds of topics. Eager to learn about other cultures and a different way of life. We love cooking, dining, going out and having a few drinks here and there.

PHILOSOPHY

Open source everything!

The difference between a Market Economy and an Earth Economy...

Consumption > Preservation
Obsolescence > Optimum Design
Property > Access
Infinite Growth > Steady State
Competition > Collaboration
Labor for Income > Mechanisation
Scarcity > Abundance
Imbalance > Equality

Its time to evolve ourselves and start reshaping this planet to benefit all people and not just a select few!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We started hosting people in Frankfurt while attending local events where possible and now we are travelling around South America trying to surf and attend or arrange events everywhere we go!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great! Each and every couchsurfer we have met has been just amazing whether a host or surfer. It's just wonderful how we are able to network this way using the internet. Couchsurfing has changed our lives and introduced us to people who we may have never met otherwise!

Interests

Experiencing new cultures, meeting new people and traveling. In the summer we like to go wake boarding, swimming, cycling, inline skating and meeting with friends in jam sessions. In the winter we enjoy skiing, ice skating, playing poker, board games and we love going to the theater and watching cultural performances.

Alex is a DJ and he used to run an agency with friend in the UK called CRYSTALFORMZ. He is also an activist working with the Zeitgeist Movement Chapter in Frankfurt. To learn more about it, go to http://www.thezeitgeistmovement.com/mission-statement

Music, Movies, and Books

We watch mostly documentaries and tv shows and we tune in to good music for the right mood :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Alex came close to death when skiing down the wrong piste in a snow storm at 2800m in France. Now he appreciates every day :)

Teach, Learn, Share

We love to learn new things. You never stop learning. Alex can offer computer skills training, engineering knowledge and experience. Alex often designs websites for individuals and use photoshop to create custom graphics. We could teach English, Russian and a basic level of German.
