About Me

Friendly but careful. Not much outgoing, but sociable. Calm. Melancholic. Full of humor and thoughts. Planning ahead (you might benefit from that).

I really do not drink coffee. I prefer tea. But i know how to brew coffee and take pride in always being able to offer some to guests.

I am a vegetarian since about 2000. But i do not mind if you eat meat.

My hometown is not listed, because there is no town that i call home.

Missions:
Fight my fears
Learning to spend money
Contact Improvisation

Thoughts:
- Life is too short for bad music.
- You are special. You are unique. Just like everybody else. DUH!
- It is more important to keep your dignity than not to miss your train
- We need to save this planet. Time is running out fast.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel on a small budget and i like the idea of helping each other out. Genereally i would like to travel more but somehow i don't.
I am also in for meeting new people in Bremen and spending time together. Sometimes i also publish events i am going to, so people can join in.

Also, you do not have to explain to me, why you chose me as your host.

PS: Dudes, just sit down to pee. It does not hurt your manliness.

Interests

I like baking and cooking. And i do foodsharing. I am very interested in living a sustainable life-style, always thinking about how to reduce CO2 and plastic and such.

I draw comics and illustrations: www.rainking.de

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmm.. once i drove the whole night so i could be in Cologne seing the sun rising over the Rhine.

Another time i saved an old lady from killing herself. Don't know whether that is amazing.
