About Me

If you are into fires on the riverside and gleefull contemplations about life you are gonna be okay hanging with me. Maybe I should also say something about the school I'm a part of. Cause thats where you'll be staying. Its a school for kids/students who are not being served a good deal in the regular school system. So at our school they get to set there own goals, degree or no degree, and we try to assist them as best as we can in learning what they feel is relevant for them. It's a School with almost 50 student from ages 15 to 24 (for now) from all levels. Located in Malburgen just across the river from the city-centre.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am running a program in schools called Broaden Horizons. For this program we have a lesson this week about traveling. So I was thinking, what is a good way to get students to feel what traveling is all about? The answer came to me just now: Get some of them travellers to stop by our school hang out and infect us with that travellers buzz. We don't expect hour long slideshows (but if you want to anything can happen), but it would be nice to have some travellers around for a little global awareness and some travel tips and tricks for those who are interested. Also if you feel like contributing other stuff to the program there are possibilities.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few weeks back someone asked me what my greatest achivement was. I answered being in love, kind of cheezy maybe but I stand by my claims! Never been more inspired humbled and in the flow ever. Thats kindoff the whole goal of living right? So thats it I guess.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about a dozen topics that came by in the program so far. from "How the universe works" to "Financial crisis '08", Lucid dreaming, intrinsic motivation, Rainforest protection, Meditation, UBI to Depression etc.
