CURRENT MISSION

Try to find the real happiness by talking and be with nice, smart and open-minded people.

ABOUT ME

I'm a calm bon vivant. I love to be in company, enjoying time together and celebrating the moment. But I also like to glory in nature, architecture, a smell, music or light.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to find happiness deep in myself without influences from seeming happy makers like TV, drugs and capitalistic media.
Give what you want to give and be happy with that. Don‘€™t expect anything from others; just take their gifts with pleasure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I traveled in Summer 2007 through the US and Canada by van and knocked on likeable doors to ask if I can stay over night in my car. I was happy to find legal places to stay and sometimes it was a great hospitality with nice meals, interesting conversations and comfortable beds. I liked this way of traveling and I would always welcome travelers as best as possible myself too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first Couchsurfing experience was in France while I was on a canouing-trip on the Ardeche with a friend of mine. It was a really great experience and a host you can't imagine a friendlier one.
My couch was bored for a quite long time, because the place where I grew up was quite nice, but not as in demand then the actual one.
I got introduced to Couchsurfing by Michael Young, my travel-mate for one month - thank you so much for this time and this advice with long term positive impact!
