CURRENT MISSION

Living the paradise on earth :-)

ABOUT ME

Basically, I try to enjoy every minute of this miracle called life!
The core of my life is founded on any sort of physical activity, especially outdoors. I enjoy the feeling of exhaustion, try to push myself to the limits and am often amazed of what you are capable of doing!
I am a very curious fellow and believe that you have to try everything TWICE!

PHILOSOPHY

I don't need any reason for enjoying my life!!
I try to see the best in everything and everybody, I don't believe that paradise starts after death, but right now and here: IT'S YOU WHO CREATES PARADISE!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I spread the word and I return what I receive.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have already surfed plenty of couches in different countries and have hosted heaps of couchsurfers. The surprising thing is that without any exception all experiences were just great!

Interests

Any kind of physical activity especially in the outdoors (rock climbing, mountain biking, surfing, windsurfing, cayaking, scuba diving, swimming, snowboarding, motorcycling, inline & ice skating, hiking, etc.).
Also, playing Didgeridoo (a tiny little bit Djembe and forgot how to play the guitar - or maybe never learned it at all ;-) - long sleeps and crazy dreams; cooking and eating until moving is impossible; photography; hitch-hiking; long chess sessions (record is 7:30h for one game! Ok, it was late and we were not too sober ...); dogs and cats; sometimes painting; dancing; meeting different people with their different cultures, traditions and lifestyles; laughing until it hurts; exploring new hobbies ...
