ABOUT ME

I was born in Switzerland. I live in Turkey since 1993, in Istanbul since 2001. I can speak German, Swiss German, English, Turkish and a little Italian. I'm an ultimate -proud to be- headbanger.

I hate it when the girls get tonnes of acceptance messages in Urgent Couch Groups while on the other hand, there are lots of guys looking for a couch.

PHILOSOPHY

Rock Hard Ride Free (no I'm not a freeloader, just Hitchhiker)
