Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travelwise to see more of the world. Personaly to be happy and friendly to all.
ABOUT ME
It's hard to discribe yourself in a few sentences actually, but i'll try. I'm actually not the typical world-traveling guy. Al least not if I compare myself to friends who are traveling of have traveled the globe. My life in the past few years infolved studying, having fun with friends and basicly enjoying life. I'm at a point now where I got my masters degree and do not really know what to do, so I'll go and explore the world. I sceduled a world trip from January till July and when I get back the serious life will begin I guess.
PHILOSOPHY
I don't really have a personal philosophy but I saw a movie recently which had a perfect phrase for stuff like this:
"Happiness is only real when it's shared.."
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I surfed a large number of couches in 2009 during a big trip. Nowadays I try to keep in touch with the friends I made and occasionaly host someone.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Surfed a lot of couches during my travels through Asia, the Pacific and USA. It's been so good, meeting all this different people. I just learned the other day that you can consider everyone a professor, you can learn from anyone you meet during you travels. I like that thought.
Interests
My main interest are friends, traveling, religion and basicly all the thing that make our lives worthwile. And I love to cook, especially Italian food.
Besides that I love a good thrill like bungeejumping, skydiving and most of all scuba diving. I could recommend a shark-dive to anyone. They are such beautiful creatures!

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies:
My personal favorites are the Gladiator, Into the Wild and the Godfather.
Music:
A lot of different styles, from classical music to pop to rock or gospel. I like a lot. But for travelling and the spirit of free thought Eddie Vedder is #1.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Scubadiving, night or day, with Nemo's or Tigersharks, Thailand or Fiji doesn't matter, it is the most beautiful sport there is.
For thrillseeking go bungeejumping instead of skydiving. Although skydiving gives you a better view.
