About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Wander through cities with open eyes. Listen to people with open ears. Experience life with open mind.

ABOUT ME

What would my best friends say about me.. Some good friends of mine say I'm the "british" kind of guy. Even though I've never been to the UK (not that I can remember of, I mean), I have to say they've got a point. Others may say that I'm a sensitive and balanced person, a good listener, and once they called me a "truth seeker". But here's what everybody would definitely agree on: I'm really bad at dancing!

PHILOSOPHY

Some of my principles: Be true. Listen to yourself. Don't judge, try to understand instead.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just registered!

Interests

Let's start with the obvious: travelling. Spending some time ( ~weeks) in some place, trying to understand its mentality and way of thinking and living, that's invaluable to me. I really enjoy speaking foreign languages, I'm fluent in English and German, and would love to learn a bunch of other ones as well.. Who knows! I'm into technologies, and I'm particularly interested in how they are changing and will change our personal life. Other loves: live music and cooking. And I would love to do some bike trial and free running, and will do sooner or later.

In random order: sunrise on the ocean listening to sea otters, and dusk on a wonderful lake, all on the same day. Seattle public library. Regaining a part of myself in Berlin. My roommate's girlfriend asking me what I thought about her wedding dress. The first time I listened to the amazing voice of my two talented friends.
