CURRENT MISSION

work like hell, at least trying to...

ABOUT ME

temporarily retired traveller, eternal adolescent, humorist, divorced

PHILOSOPHY

I love other cultures and minds as far as they are tolerant or curious.
To me there is no 'fate' or higher being which decides upon us. Shit happens. Deal with it. Don't repeat it yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I attend meetings and maybe will host someone - I'm not equipped with dedicated guest space. A travellers mattress has to suffice.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Didn't do so far under this banner but I have some free style travelling experience since the 80ies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I developed a type face for the Polish Telephone Books. How's that? As a German :))) Twenty years on hardly anyone uses telephone books anymore but if - they are still being printed in my lettering.

Teach, Learn, Share

Being a member of the FabLab Munich I am very much in love with Making/creating furniture or spare parts, I don't shy back to pull stuff from the bin to create useful things. I teach laser cutting and 3D-printing.
