About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Creating awesome iPhone Apps

ABOUT ME

Life is short and so I like to see as much as I can from this planet (once I even wanted to go to space but I just made it to a parabolic flight yet :-) See www.frozen-reality.de/parabolic )
And I am always happy to meet great people from all over the world.
Also I like to have fun and do things I love to do! (Well,... who does not?! ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Life should be enjoyed as much as possible. Be passionate about everything in life.

I don't know if that is a philosophy bu as a scientist I often think about what will happen to mankind in future if we won't kill ourselves: Astronomers calculated that in 5 billion years the sun will be so big that no one can live on earth anymore... Fortunately the Andromeda Galaxy will collapse with the MilkyWay in 4 billion years. So I am pretty sure there is a chance that we can jump to another fun solar system... That gives me hope that civilization is not senseless and I am motivated to do my daily stuff ;-)
And in my few years of living I definitely wanna have a great time and do things I love to do!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I am new in the USA I would like to experience real american life and not just hostels while traveling. I am excited to see how different couches look around the US ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Normally, I meet people somewhere on the world and visit them later at home. I would call that couch surfing -

Since I signed up here I couchsurfed in LA, in Mexico and hosted in Austin - and it was always a LOT of fun!!! :o)
