About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm currently working as a PhD student in physics in Jena. In my free time I'm working for an association which is called Foodsharing and tries reduce food waste by sharing it with other people.

ABOUT ME

I'm an open-minded, variedly interested, witty and polite person, who definitely needs to work on his small talk skills.

PHILOSOPHY

"... jedem Anfang wohnt ein Zauber inne, der uns beschützt und der uns hilft zu leben." (Hermann Hesse, Stufen)
"... a magic dwells in every beginning, protecting us and supporting our living."

I think Jesus was a great man, who unfortunately gets misinterpreted a lot of times.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is the perfect place to meet new and interesting people from everywhere and to see all that local stuff a usual tourist doesn't see.

Interests

Music: I am a big fan of Indie music, who loves to go to festivals, concerts and to discover new music. I was a good classical piano player and now I'm trying to learn to play the guitar for joining a band at some time.

Sport: I like playing football, bouldering and beach volleyball and I am interested in the German Bundesliga.

Furthermore I like to have political discussions, protecting the environment, have a strange interest for every kind of maps and think, that Wikipedia is a great invention.
