ABOUT ME

Just look forward to an enterprising and open-minded family of six - my wife & me, our three boys and our au-pair. We enjoy making new friends from throughout the world and learn more about your culture, we like to try speaking at least some words of your language and we're very curious about any interesting story you can tell us!

PHILOSOPHY

"Man muss nur wollen und daran glauben, dann gelingt es."
("You need to want only and trust in it, then you'll succeed in it." - Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin, german airship design engineer) - some people also just say: "Think positive!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

See couch description... Anyway as CS newbies we'd like to discover all opportunities to participate which are there.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not very much so far - CS is still very new to us, but we're very interested and curious !

Interests

Running, aviation (currently in flight training for ultralight planes), singing in a choir, playing various music intruments, asian cuisine, learning languages, horseback riding - we're always striving for variety and new things to discover, and we really dislike boredom :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: any good movie - we like watching new movies in the theatre and classic ones on DVD
Music: a lot to listen to & a lot of fun to make music on your own... if there's any chance, please bring along your music instrument(s), and we'll try out something together!
Books: our bookshelves are just close to burst :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We saw people literally changing their mind and their mood (from shortspoken at first to very helpful and open then), as soon as we tried to speak their language - this feels just incredible when you experience this! Also my participation in IAESTE (international exchange program for students) was a very rewarding experience.
