"Do I contradict myself?
Very well, then I contradict myself,
I am large, I contain multitudes."

PHILOSOPHY

Experience as much you can. Until you find wisdom & enlightenment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always had great experiences with Couchsurfing, and travelled to many countries where I've met amazing people. Whenever I arrived new at a place, the Couchsurfing communities were one of the best places to start new friendships.

I also used to be quite active in the Seoul Couchsurfing Community, but since I moved back to Germany, I'm not that often involved with CS anymore.

Interests

I enjoy:

1) playing Chess, talking about Philosophy, with a glass of Red Wine and good company.

2) going out Mountainbiking, swimming in the ocean, windsurfing & sailing, discovering and exploring new places I've never been.

3) dancing out the whole night at a jazzy 1930s style ball room with Lindy Hop, Charleston, Balboa and Blues (Swing-Dancing!!!)

4) talking about deeply inspiring and spiritual experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

I appreciate any movie, music, book which has the power to penetrate a soul.

Music (Classical, Jazz, Electronic... I'm a Pianist and Part-Time DJ)
Literature (Fan of Magical Surrealism: Borges, Marques, Calvino, Pamuk...)
Movies (Stanley Kubrick and Andrei Tarkowsky excite me both, as well as Christopher Nolan and Quentin Tarantino both have their charms)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sometimes I can read people's mind or predict the future.
But I cannot choose these magical moments voluntarily.
