ABOUT ME

I'm a tall, talkative, open-minded person. What else?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Slept on some couches on my Israel trip and had only good experiences. And I also hosted already some CS members (without using CS) ;-)

Interests

I play volleyball & beach volleyball in a sport club, sometimes I improve my tennis skill and I like to cycle around here and there and

I love music (hardcore, metal, indie, doom, punk,...), collect vinyl and often go to concerts of little, small and also large bands...

I like to cook - mostly mediterran, oriental and asian cuisine but also old fashioned german meals ;-) -
I know about Vegan/Vegetarian lifestyles and how to cook for this kinds of diet although I would not consider myself as living like that. I tried it some years but ended up in the mood, that I've wasted too much time in searching vegetarian food in a foreign city leaving out all the good carnivore opportunities around me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting the Israeli desert and the Dead Sea was very impressing. Also the culture-clash in Jerusalem, all these varieties thereover.
Whale-watching and seeing Black Bears in Canada..

Nothing special ;-)

Teach, Learn, Share

In fact I'm able to talk about nearly everything and much. Sometimes I'm wrong but mostly I'm right... ;-)

Okay, you cannot learn from me how to drive a bike, to swim or something else. I can show you how to format your Word document or Excel (but I hate to do so), programming and stuff as I'm working for an IT company.

At the moment I'd like to learn several languages but I think I'll fail because of my laziness...
