About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

update: I'm now in Down Under as my brother in law is Australian and I want to get to know my new family. I've quit my nice job and my apartment to try my luck abroad. I'm here for at least 1 year. I began my journey traveling through India and so far it's been fantastic! Maybe you can be part of it, if we meet each other. Lot's of funny stories guaranteed. :)

I am open minded, and if I am interested in something I can spend a lot of energy around that. I am interested in nearly everybody and try to be always optimistic and in a good mood. I try to enjoy life without harming anybody else.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything in balance including in balance.

I am not very interested in materialistic stuff: big cars etc. I rather like to explore different cultures and chat with people about there opinions to understand their way of life. if I can make somebody happy I am happy, too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I like these directors: David Lynch, Martin Scorcese, Quentin Tarantino and more

I love Neo Noir movies, but I enjoy all kinds of films except horror.

When it comes to music I have a broad horizon and I think you can find a good artist in every single music genre. since years I enjoy the most the genres of electronic music, but you can find me also on a jazz concert etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. It was amazing when I was able to see the world, because that wasn't possible before the fall of the Berlin wall.

2. It was amazing when I came back home and realised that you can find nice people, beautiful landscape and a lot more marvellous things around you and your own home if you open your eyes and value also the small things in life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can explain some stuff about music or producing, but not if you are a professional musician as I am an autodidact.
Furthermore I know some stuff about graphic design as I gave a few Photoshop lessons etc. and formed a small agency with some friends in the past.

I love cooking and I can tell you a lot about countries and my home area.
