About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the plans life made for me. (aka going with the flow)

ABOUT ME

I finished my studies in April 2009, but got so disappointed by the scientific working in a laboratory during my diplome thesis that I abandoned the wish of becoming a Scientist, which I wanted all my life long.
Instead I spent the summers working on goaTrance-festivals and the winter in Israel to try and see how hard physical work, especially outdoors, is like.
Then found and interesting topic (interaction of fungi with plants) and decided to do my PhD, but not finding a position for 2 years, thus finally giving up on science and devided to dedicate my life to improving the world.

For that I chose to teach people about nutrition. Because a bad died not only leads to most of the so called "civilization sicknesses" but also to exploitation of animals and human beings and unnecessary destruction of nature.
So I founded a organic vegan fairtrade sustainable catering service (www.vegev.de) as a pioneer project of a future gastronomy.

And I am quite sure from the age of about 45 I want to live on an agricultural "bioharmonic" communion for which I have lots of plans and dreams.

PHILOSOPHY

There is no reality. Go your own way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

well, not enough... :-\

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The first experience I had with couchsurfing is that a CouchSurfer hosted by friends of mine came along with them to a party at our home and liked my room so much that he stayed there for half a year while I was travelling. :-)

Interests

aeh pffff... lots: Science, Spirituality, Yoga, Dancing, Massages, Climbing (nowadays mainly trees), People, Psychedelics, Elves and Kobolds, Art, Piano, just to mention a few.

NOT football and other spectator sports, nor celebrities.

and I like doing housework (which I say not only for the purpose of advertisement ;-)

Music, Movies, and Books

I also like the "alternative" oldies like Pink Floyd, love The Doors.
The best novel I ever read is The Neverending Story. Besides that I mainly read books that transmit some sort of knowledge or philosophy.
Movies I like once in a while, especially modern Fairy Tales, especially those from Gibli Studios and Hayao Miyazaki.
