CURRENT MISSION

making the impossible possible

ABOUT ME

I am an open-minded and really multisided person. I love doing and watching sports, going out, meeting friends, just having fun. But I also love philosophical and political discussions, reading and writing dramas and prose. I like to be creative and walk beyond the given pathes. I love to write short stories about things I see, things I experience set in a new sometimes deeper, sometimes more absurd light.
What I don't like is ignorance. Because of that I'm involved with struggling for a certain equality for everybody in my everyday life and also by being a social entrepreneur and photographer, crossing over art, activism, entrepreneurship and science!

PHILOSOPHY

only the presence of significant others can turn experiencing something to a real experience

You need to reinvent yourself once in a while

There are a million worlds in one, a trillion words mean none

I am a convinced enlightened hedonist and spiritual adventurer :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In the beginning of 2011 I lived in a big house Israel/Palestine (Bethlehem) for about three months. Since I had the space and the urge to meet new people I started participating in couchsurfing.

Back in Germany I hope to get into touch with travellers and open-minded life-lovers and adventurers from all over the world and listen to their stories :)

And of course: travelling all over the world and experiencing new people and new cultures

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experiences were great so far, I wouldn't want to miss the at all!!

Interests

I am interested in

the little things that make life enjoyable,
people I can laugh with,
deep thinking,
the great paradoxy of the world,
finding sense in everything,
nodding your head just to ignore the malicious power of an unchangeable no.

seeing patients I worked with in an internship in a psychiatric clinic getting better

the feeling when I finished my marathons

the hope of in the eyes of the refugees we welcomed and worked with last summer in Germany

Hiking attentive through Yosemite valley

Teach, Learn, Share

The idea and methods of making each other a bit more complete, perceiving the world as more imperfect doll house in which we can be responsible actors rather than passive puppets.

The spirit of never ending curiosity.

Photography, psychology, a spirit of activism - anf of course some nice German cooking (haha)
