About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Achieiving greatness, one step at a time...

ABOUT ME

Alas I have been transferred back to the lovely metroplex region of northern Texas. After working and living in Munich for a year and a half I often ask myself how one could continue on anywhere else...Dallas is a great place to visit but lacks culture, open mindesness and the classic aesthetic beauty found in European cities.

PHILOSOPHY

Good friends, dining and travels!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to travell on the weekends but have gotten around enough in the past to now seek a more realistic and representative aspect of cultural variations. So basically I need a place to stay! Experiencing a city through the eyes of a local is the way to go...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen a lot and done a lot. What I cherish most are my aquard friendships created in the oddest of places. Most notabley while travelling by train in Europe. I have developed numerous friendships in this way and think that this couchsurfing is a bigger framed version of my train be-freinding!

Teach, Learn, Share

WWII to end of Cold War history. For some reason it fascinates me.
