About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Use your brain, hands, feets, use everything you have to proceed...

ABOUT ME

Most of the time, you will see me passing by on my bike, my best friend on my journeys through daily life. The rest of the time, you can see me going to university, trying to be a eager student, try forget about the opportunities given outside and sit down to read, write and think about politics, sociology and economics. It helps me shaping my mind for economical, political, social and ecological problems we're facing these days, and it helps me to find words for the things I experience while travelling.
I work as a bike messenger, and I love this job for giving me opportunities to spend time outside, get to know many different people in many different places, fuck off cops and get to know this beatiful city.
Sports is always important, but its worth nothing without teammates around you, so usually the first sunshines get me out of the house to ballcourts and footballfields..
Party? definitely!
Music? Same, and if there's none we do it ourselves!

PHILOSOPHY

According to Marx, boarders are the fixation of population to a certain territory.
The constructed and imagined idea of nations, boarders and territories has to be overcome, we have to overcome it by questioning authorities, their actions and their effects on peoples lifes.
Travelling, and thereby I mean travelling by ecologically sustainable devices (Bike! Hitchhiking!Walking!), crossing boarders and get in contact to the daily lifes of people all over the world, can widen our horizons and our perception of constructed social facts.
There is a deep gap between our privileged societies, of which I am concious that I am a part of it and profiting in many ways. Some can travel, cross boarders and experience, many CANNOT!
There's a lack of respect and love to mother earth, to the oceans, the mountains and the plains, we use cars, planes and nuclear energy day by day without realizing what exactly we are using and where we are going as humanity.
Respect our planet, respect the nature, dont take yourself too serious or even think you understood how things really work. Be ready to question, but respect others opinions and try to learn from every experience day by day!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Offer my place, share my time, sometimes prepare a good meal for you, show you around, take you for a drink or two with my friends... Just make you discover the place I'm living at in the most comfortable way :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

From Russia to Danmark and France to Turkey, I experienced open-minded, colourfull people with so many ways of life, ideas, views, jokes, interests...that's what it's all about, isn't it?

Interests

I definitely enjoy spending my time outside on the fresh air, being in the mountains, hiking and cycling in Summer, ski-hiking and snowboarding in Winter...
Another passion I'm addicted to is Basketball, so if you wanna throw some hoops together, come around :)
