About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

phew... just started my M.sc. with that on the side im outgoing, easygoing, abit shy, corageous, outrageous, playful, love cooking, dynamic, hyperactive but i love my chills. nature, parties, travels, music, rivers and red wine please. love talking with people who differ from me but with whom i can get on the same wave, actually people who are similiar to me and whom i cannot get on the same wave are cool too, especially with low lights and into the night.

PHILOSOPHY

radical islam guides me (originally Budhism guides me, but thats what you get when you leave your account open at friends place)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

opened my place for 2 years and no one came. to compensate the misery i was surfing all over europe. now, the new casa is open for you!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

it ROCKS!

Interests

so lately i had more free time in which i did lotsa sports: mainly running, but swimming and cycling also. would love to get into extreme sport as well. i love reading, listening to music, traveling and being outdoors, chilling with friends and looking for adventures and having totally awesome time. doing some leatherworking in my spare time, playing the didg and the djembe, writing poems and short stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

reallly into sci fi and fantasy, especialy the classics. mom was a teacher of russian literature and im a sucker for the lost generation, hesse, castanda, kazantzakis, bulgakov, nabukov, asimov, herbert, bach, adams, tolstoyi, hemingway, remark, markes, scott-card...
but i read all kinds of generes tough i try to stay away from best sellers.
as far as music goes it was rap, turned into classic rock and went into the 90's, than into psy trance and all kinds of electronic music. all of this with pinches of post punk, jazz, classic, drum n' bass, ethnic, folk and many more generes which i cannot name.
id love a good movie, and its not that easy finding them nowadays

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Night climbing and avoiding camels while ascending mount. Sinay in Egypt, where supposedely Moses got the plates. weve arrived up just to find out its ridiculously cold up there and eventually found a dirty, smelly camel rug we can wrap around ourselves.

Camping just abit northern to Montelimer, France, on a low hill, at a full moon night, overlooking the cooling "chimneys" (whats the name of those things?) of nuclear power plant sitting on a lake.

Dead Sea sunrise with best friend, a very silent and relaxing place to be.
