CURRENT MISSION

I´d like to allay my inquisitiveness about other cultures by travelling and hosting.

ABOUT ME

I think I´m a bit schizophrenic...No,I´m not...well, not much, just a little bit...Nah,I´m definitely not!
;-)
But to be honest: it´s hard to describe myself. You can read about my interests and hobbies in the categories below, so what should I write?
Maybe best information about me is that I have been sitting here for circa 1 hour to fill this box with some expedient words.

PHILOSOPHY

No tolerance without appreciation. No appreciation without learning. (Tip: With a few pints of Guinness you can flip the order, first tolerance, next morning appreciation and maybe eventually learning ;-))

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I´d like to invite the world for a stay in my place as well as I´d like to travel.
I´m thirsty for knowledge and experiences, so whatever you can/want to teach me: I would like to learn it. On the other hand I may help you were I´m able to (That means for me to make you feel homelike and not just to give you an accommodation.)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Can´t describe my journey to Belarus...it was too amazing! It´s another world somehow. If you can (need a visa), go there and enjoy it! You´ll gain some great experiences.
Another amazing "thing" is living in Indonesia. Its another world, not only bcoz of a different religion...

教，学，和分享

I could teach you some german phrases (you won´t find in a dictionary :-)); besides I can show you a bit around (if I don´t need to study too much...)
I´d like to acquire some rudimental "small talk skills" in every language (like "hello. how are you? nice to meet you."...), so I´d be happy if you could teach me a few words in your mother tongue.
