About Me

CURRENT MISSION

New international experiences, meet up with interesting people!

ABOUT ME

It's always difficult to describe yourself. For a (first) visual impression you can have a look at my pictures.

In case of my person, I would describe myself as spontaneous, fun-loving (I laugh a lot), interested, senistive, open minded and tolerant.

I think that I'm simply a normal guy with a positive attitude who tries to discover the world and can't get enough of nice and new experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

Be tolerant, be fair and treat people like you wanna be treated!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to get in touch with a lot of interesting people worldwide. I think that everyone who participates here is acting as an ambassador for ones own culture and country. That's the reason why my personal aim is being a good host to represent my own country and culture.

Further more, I moderated the local CS group in "Schweinfurt" for a while.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm doing couchsurfing since a few years and my experiences were completely positive.

I can definately say ... I became addicted! And I hope that there will be a lot more positive experiences in the future.

Interests

Traveling, interesting people, sports (running – but before I've to loose weight again, hiking), cars (my baby), mechanical watches, cooking, reading, music

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During the last years I did a lot of activities with international friends who were doing their internship in my company.
Further more, I educated and spent my free time with engineers all over the world. I will never forget what these great people put into me and they're doing it still.

On one of my trips to Canada I did a "1 May Tour" (typical German) on Pelee Island (Ontario) with a good friend of mine. We had so much fun, met great people and saw so many beautiful places. I will never forget this trip.

9 years ago I did a trip to Bali. I lived for 2,5 weeks in a small bungalow and met some very friendly Balinese peaople who shared their free time with me. They showed me around. I'm so pleased for all these non touristic impressions.
