CURRENT MISSION

The search for the holy truth

ABOUT ME

As it is impossible to describe a person with all its facets, I reduce this descriptions to three characteristics wich I think are typical for me.

1) Although it is hard to describe myself, I think the best is to start with my studies. I studied philosophy because I am very courious person that always tries get to the bottom of things. Therefore, one of my major problems is that I am interested in almost evrything and that I try to be as precise and adamant as possible when I am occupied with something.

2) Another character trait of mine is that I am a very sociable person. Communication with other peoble is one of the most important activities in my life. I am enchanted when I get to know new people, their lifes and the way they think. I also like to argue about a lot of topics and I think that I am an interesting dialogue partner.

3) In my opinion our world needs a lot of changes. There are a lot of thing going into the wrong direction. If there is something like a "sense of my life", then it would be ameliorating the conditions of living in this world. It is intolerable that there are people starving whilst other people have got such a lot of money that they don't know what to do with it. There is a lot to do, let's go for it!

PHILOSOPHY

...would be to long to write down here. You will learn it, when you talk to me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to host people that are interested to visit Bern or Switzerland in general. I like to show people around in Bern and I also like to cook together with other people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing things are the really small things to me, like an old man that invites me into his house in Siracusa (Sicily) and tells me about his life. Or drinking Kumys (fermented mare milk) with a Kirghiz shepherd. Mostly experiences with people from all over the world. To recognize that we are different but nontheless the same.

One of the greatest experiences to me was a football game with my hobby team against the football national team of Bhutan in Thimpu (capital of Bhutan)
