CURRENT MISSION

Finding a way to see the extraordinary in the ordinary

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy-going and polite young man who likes to laugh a lot. I would consider myself open-minded and humorous as well as honest and really helpful.
I'm digging photography and currently I'm training as a professional photographer. I absolutely LOVE music, especially Indie tunes or good Folk music.

PHILOSOPHY

"One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things."
Henry Miller

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been sharing a profile with a friend, but now I wanna start traveling on my own.
I surfed a couchsurfer's couch in Austria as well as a couch in Berlin with my lovely sister!
Last year I've been staying in New York and Washington D.C.
I have not hosted anyone yet, but I'm looking forward to having you as my guest! :)

Interests

As a photographer, I have fun doing portrait shootings or just snap some pictures of my friends and family.
I really enjoy listening to good music and going to concerts.
Besides that, I like to play badminton and soccer, read books and magazines or just surf the net.
Right now I'm trying to get into more detailed techniques in postprocessing in Photoshop which can be tricky sometimes...

Teach, Learn, Share
