About Me

CURRENT MISSION

30 days of skiing are envisioned for next season :-) Be best at my job from mon to fri :)

ABOUT ME

I enjoy being among friendly interesting people - they may be my friends or completely unknown, but communicative.
I love my job (development engineer) and so loved the #looklikeanengineer campaign at twitter - I did not participate though.
I would like to perform better my favourite sports: I improved a lot in the last year, but there is a lot of training in front of me - I am looking forward to it! I love beer except Hefeweizen.
Contact me, if you need help with German anything - the language, the customs...

PHILOSOPHY

Schau nicht auf das Stundenglas tagein tagaus wie gebannt... For the people who do not speak German , it tells that you shall enjoy live in every single moment and not let you driven sad by anything. I always try to live this way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed a couch in Salt Lake City, which was a good experience and and have been hanging out there mostly with Csers - social gatherings helped me a lot to establish several good friendships in Salt Lake. In the meantime I have hosted a little more and surfed in Munich and Marrakesh.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Has been overall awesome!

Interests

When I lived near to the Black forest in Southern Germany, I began doing sports. And I started loving it! At the moment I spend most of my time rock climbing or checking out where and when I can go climbing the next time. Winter is skitouring time.
I also love having a good dinner and breakfast, watching movies, talking to people and listen their opinions and how they come to them.
