About Me

CURRENT MISSION

see the world, explore unseen secrets, make friends all over the world

ABOUT ME

I am a open minded guy who likes to travel an meet people from all countries. Everybody get along very well with me. I got a good sense of black humor. Most people like to hang out with me or to have an interesting conversation.

You definitly should contact me if you need a good barkeeper for your next party :-)

I am back from 13 months travelling around the world. I have seen some wonders, met some nice people and it changed me a litte bit.

PHILOSOPHY

Life ist to short for fighting or fussing my friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted some people at my place in Cologne and Wiesbaden. Was always fun to show them around and give them a taste of the local culture. From time to time I am joining some CS Meetings.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It was always great to meet my hosts or also the ones who was only my guide for a day. It is a great idea to support. So I also had good experiences as a host for travellers.

Interests

travel, travel, travel... :-)

But i also like sports (usually do sports, not watch ;-) ) What kind depends on the day and weather. I like Badminton, Cycling, Climbing and Running. Water Sports are great but I am unlikely swimming as fast as rubber duck :-). I am passionate in taking pictures (sometimes strange perspective), but I just have a small compact camera. But under the surface of the water I am fine. I am diving now since Mai 2011 and its faaaantastic!

At the moment I discover the good feeling of hiking wonderful nature.

I want to learn playing a guitar. I am always try to learn new languages.

I also like to cook, making cocktails, meeting friends and go out to clubs, bars and other places you can have fun and dance.

Music, Movies, and Books

Your life is the best movie you will ever watch :-) You never know what happen.

Music depends on my mood. But i think all from the 70s til now.

Books? My diary is very interesting :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking the Grand Canyon from the North Rim to the River and back. Sounds not soo exciting. But after i was on the botton of the canyon and thought about to go back 1200 meters higher it seemed to me almost impossible. But i had some great japanese travel buddys. Together we did it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a little bit of everything. So dont hesitate to ask me if a helping hand is needed.
