CURRENT MISSION stay hungry, stay foolish ABOUT ME My 12 year old son and me are living in an old mill from 1820, quite lonely in the wood, within fantastic nature (ok, for Germany :). I like sports, e.g. badminton, sailing, biking, but not too much. Whenever I have time I take my camera and try to shoot good pictures. I like travelling, and did a lot before I had a child. Fortunately, my son is sharing this hobby with me now. And we travelled together to US, Hawaii, Thailand and even three months through New Zealand. Next booked trip is Mauritius in this summer. PHILOSOPHY listen and try to understand the others, don't judge them from my own narrow point of view. Steve Jobs once said to students: "Stay hungry, stay foolish." Thats a good approach to life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After using CS well in NZ and in US, it is now time to pay back and offer our old mill and my caravan inmidst of remote nature to couchsurfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In NZ people we have stayed at were really nice and got even close friends. Sometimes we had to be patient until we found a couch which was fitting to me and my 5yr old son there. CS worked well in U.S., and sometimes we use it in Europe, too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling for three months in NZ with my 5yr old son was the best time I had in my life. And there was an interesting paragliding experience I could tell you personally ...

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a coaching (not couching :) education, and I practiced a bit.
Normally I can help with all mathematical problems in school.
I like to share live experience and learn from our hosts and surfers. I hope to be a good listener.
If you need some good fotos of your location, I can help without being a pro.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am best in having a interested personal talk exchanging life experience.
