About Me

**Update: my profile is a little outdated. I cannot host people at the moment but I'd be glad to show you around in Lübeck if you contact me.***

CURRENT MISSION

getting things done for my PhD, explore the mysteries of life, create some art

ABOUT ME

Nothing really. Please, try to find something and tell me if you succeeded ;-). But it might have something to do with being too lazy to fill out all the boxes here...

PHILOSOPHY

Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world. Do what you say you like to do!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

well, I share a couch, I will show you the good places if I do have the time for that and will do what can be done from my side to let you have a good time in Lübeck.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was staying in Lübeck twice for some job interviews and it was an awesome experience because I met so many lovely people in the very beginning that now are my friends. That gave me the best start I could hope for in this new city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Time to boast;-)!
1.Getting this PhD position seems pretty amazing to me. I still don´t know why they actually took ME! I actually am a mechanical engineer and now I am doing (deliberately) neuroscience.
2. Talking myself into a trains first class compartment comes next. I will tell you how to do it if you want to ;-).
3. Carrying my dog home when I was a kid: He had cancer and after walking for half an hour away from home he decided not to walk anymore and lay down. He was half the size of me and I had to carry him back...
4. Seeing a man singing with a choir while still being louder than the whole rest of them...
5. Listening live to Handel´s Messiah performed by a choir of 400 people was, well...

Teach, Learn, Share

What I really like to hear about is psychology, communication and management and all the lessons about love and life one should know but does not find in textbooks. As I am a university guy, there should be plenty of things to write here that I can teach :-). I can offer you a lot when it comes to mechanical engineering which is what I studied. I gave some tutorials on math so if you ever have problems with your math homework you can probably ask me and I would be curious about finding a solution with you. Also, if you ever wondered what these chattering and muttering MRT or PET apparatus' are doing while you lay inside I could tell you. However I made the experience that stuff like this is not typically something you can shine with on a party and I will definitely won't talk your ear off with that.
