About Me

ABOUT ME

I've just graduated from University and will be searching for a job soon. Until then I'm free to travel and enjoy life to the fullest. I basically enjoy a good talk about travels, politics, telling jokes, riddles, cooking, spending time playing games, listen to music or hang out in the parks.
At the moment I am trying to discover myself and social interaction more conciously, because there is so much more to grasp than just the obvious. So I do meditation and would love to share some experiences to learn and teach about such a beautiful topic.
Positivity leads to positive things and directs your vision to creative and joyful interaction with people, nature and yourself, whereas negativity is destructive and gets your creativity stuck. So - SMILE and ENJOY the MOMENT without bothering about the past or the future. =)

I am big Reggae and Dub-Lover, but also appreciate a nice session of Jazz, Funk, Balkan Beats, Drum and Bass or Organic Slow House. Basically anything that either makes your mind humbly chill or gets the hips moving I'd go for :D

PHILOSOPHY

Two things mankind should have been given: WINGS and ROOTS.

You can only truly love somebody else, if you learn how to LOVE YOURSELF.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have surfed couches in different places over the world, which were really awesome experiences. Visiting new places and cultures has to include meeting new people and learning about different ways of life and views about crucial things. Sharing is caring and will come back to you, even when you don't expect it.

Everytime I leave my homecountry my eyes are being opened a little more what diversity of life means.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to share some cooking experiences and some talk, including anything from deep philosophical to shitstorms about society. Hit some bars, go partying or to the mountains - depends on the day of the week!

Also I love to experiment with and teach about ways to dream, as my ultimate goal is the skill of Lucid Dreaming. Awesome thing to discover a world beyond usual conciousness.
