About Me
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing seems to be a perfect way of travelling. Just giving and receiving hospitality with cool people around the globe. Basically I have been couchsurfing during all my travels, just with people I met on the spot. So why not use the internet as a tool to accomodate this a bit easier. I'm not a big fan of computers and machines in general but sometimes the internet can be used in a very positive way, couchsurfing seems to do just that.

I can play a little mouth harp, bag pipe, drums and djembe.

Books: Lord Of The Rings again, A Song Of Ice And Fire, Musashi, Edda, The communist manifesto, everything that has to do with world mythology and a lot fantasy novels that i don't feel like writing all down.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
That is a weird question there are so many canidates for this one. Its like choosing between children. But a recent one is hiking in the middle of the night in the snow covered mountains in Norway while the northern lights above me where reflected in the snow, thus turning the whole area in a green oasis.
Also I recently encountered a mother bear with two baby's in the Romanian mountains on about 20 meters distance. The moment when she stood up on two legs and growled at me was my biggest adrenaline rush ever.
