I've been traveling my entire life, always in search for something new, trying to find a way to lead a life of purpose. I love to meet people and share experiences, thoughts... Furthermore I find joy in helping those who cross my path in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Unfortunately even though I have had this profile for a few years, it has only been recently that I started couchsurfing. Fortunately it has been a great experience, meeting some really wonderful people.

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to music it really depends on my mood. It can be everything possible from rock, metal, smooth jazz, chill-out, electro/dubstep or even industrial.

Movies? Just a few as an example: Pi, Moon, Cashback, Into the Wild, Happythankyoumoreplease, Primer, Mysterious Skin, 127 Hours and a lot more....

When it comes to books, I mainly read non-fiction, biographies etc. So everything possible from 'Losing My Virginity' by Richard Branson, 'The Snowball' by Warren Buffett, 'The Intelligent Investor' by Benjamin Graham, 'The Code Book' by Simon Singh and the list goes on.
