About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling around the world and enjoying the freedom of having no obligations!

ABOUT ME

I quit my job, put all my belongings into a storage room and decided to have a time on my own. Since February 2011,I travel alone, decide on a day by day basis what I want to do - and have no idea when I will go back home.

PHILOSOPHY

If you have something in mind for a long time, then do it. Fight the fear of losing something by changing your current situation and enjoy the things you win.
And as a lawyer I think there is just one rule in this world: Respect. But my colleagues would probably hate me for this ultra short form of a law book.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Three million people in this world who are open to meet and maybe host me, to lead and guide me, in places I do not know yet. Feeling home everywhere in the world.
I will welcome travellers on my couch, too, as soon as I have a place where I settle down!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had no idea how it will be to meet a person I have never seen before, in a city I have never been to, and share a couple of days together. It was by far better than anything I expected! :-)) A huge "THANK YOU!" to everyone who gave me a shelter!!!

Interests

I love travelling (obviously), dancing (all kind of ballroom dances), skiing, discussing about every imaginable topic, meeting people and enjoying life - something I have done too rarely in the past.

  • books
  • dancing
  • traveling
  • socializing
  • skiing
  • law
  • tourism

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot of lonely planets at the moment, but have my backpack filled with tons of other books for my journey. As I travel on ground whenever possible, I have a lot of time reading them.
I do not have any particular style of music I like. Music needs to touch me and create emotions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I will tell you in person... ;-))

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to share my knowledge with others, no matter what it is.

Countries I’ve Visited

Egypt, Greece, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Maldives, Portugal, Russian Federation, Singapore, Spain, Thailand

Countries I’ve Lived In

Cambodia, China, Switzerland
