About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find the "exit" and accept the irony of events ... or sth like that :)

ABOUT ME
I hardly ever refuse the possibility of trying out sth. new - the last one was paragliding near Ankara.
The company of people of all ages and young spirit and a good exchange is worth more than a good night sleep.

PHILOSOPHY
There is too much noise, I'd rather not add more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've brought up thee open-minded , friendly and independent young of our species

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always curious to learn about the place I'm visiting, local perspective on bigger issues (is there any other?) and dancing (last experience with Kadir in Istanbul - Anatolian dances were such fun!)
I can share a bunch of info about Gdansk and Pomerania, insightful places around the world worth sparing a while, dog breeding ... don't know - ask and I'll try to dig deeper

And if you come in winter, you can join me in "walrusing" on Sun morning (as we call it here) in the crispy water of the Baltic sea. Very refreshing!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good chat, a meal sometimes, unfortunately I usually work a lot and hardly ever have time to show people around :( but who knows ...
And loosing yourself in playing with my dog (not obligatory, though)
