CURRENT MISSION

Living the spirit and listening to the stories of the world

ABOUT ME

Actually I am living in Germany. But at the moment I share a flat with another German and a French guy in Istanbul. Basically I am open for everything, spontaneously or well organized - you could take me for a multiple-week long hiking trip, to a concert, to a cafe to discuss politics and how to change the world, naked to the ocean at night or anything else you could think of. There are only a few things I don't like at all: Intolerance, Racism and Hatred.

PHILOSOPHY

You can build something beautiful out of the stones that are put in your way. -Goethe

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am trying to offer my couch, my tea or coffee and my help to as many people as possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted, surfed, all you want - many places...

But actually, I have never met anybody only for a coffee :-)
