About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying summer and my holidays with my girlfriend–and looking forward to exploring Ireland again!

ABOUT ME

I went to boarding school when I was 15. I learned a lot about getting along with people, about me and how to get things done. Starting summer 2006, I was working in the beautiful Harz region in Central Germany as a director's assistent at the local theatre. Now I'm assisting and directing back in my home town, Dessau.

PHILOSOPHY

Thou shalt be a blessing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am quite eager to host people and have done so numerous times—it has always been a blast!
Also, I keep meeting great people who let me crash on their couch; what a wonderful thing CouchSurfing is.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All through the Netherlands (which I travelled by bike for three weeks) - and in Aachen, Oldenburg, Bremen.
Also several days in Kopenhagen, three weeks in the Holy Land and three weeks in Spain.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Mostly easy-listening for breakfast to start the day. I love listening to radio (Deutschlandradio Kultur) because others decide what music to play (and it isn't pop).
Movies: All kinds of genres, as long as it isn't too plain stupid. Recently watched and liked: Kings (series), The Borgias (series), Game of Thrones (series) . Also huge fan of the Muppets, Simpsons and Monty Python.
Books: Don't have time to enjoy reading as much as I would like to. Reading the weekly newspaper "Die Zeit". Fan of Terry Pratchett.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Experienced: Friendship, what a wonderful thing.
Done: Published a book (http://www.amazon.de/theatrum-ante-portas-Jahre-2002-2007/dp/3925522239/). Went through all the Netherlands by bike. Directed a bunch of theatre productions in Germany.
