ABOUT ME

My master thesis was on the theoretical significance of curiosity - but it could easily be read as an autobiography. I like to investigate things (the well-known detective-syndrom). Everything from the most insignificant detail to the grandest holistic schemes. This so-called curiosity also goes for people whom I generally find quite exciting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Next to the running USB-Hamster Couchsurfing must be the invention of the century.

Couchsurfing-people are almost always interesting. They talk about strange and beautiful things and places you've nevber heard of. Sometimes they invite you along to meet all their friends or to live in their home which is crazy and somewhat assuring at the same time. I've had some amazing experiences as a Couchsurfer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing Mt. Cradle in a pair of Converse. Incredibly sore feet but with a feeling of seeing the entire world (with all respect to Tasmania, a slight exaggeration).

Walking through Saigon at night with the endless lights. An emotional punch in the face for a rural child like me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like listening and learning. I like jamming and cooking.
