About Me

CURRENT MISSION

free the mind

ABOUT ME

Hey there world!
i'm a cosmopolitan, friendly and anytime well tempered guy. Maybe I seem to others to be kind of crazy sometimes, and perhabs this could also be true, but it's a very positive way of beeing crazy:-)
The positive way of beeing crazy means to me: doing sometimes stupid things just for fun, and treasure lifes great moments in my mind.

PHILOSOPHY

Your livetime is now! It maybe won't get better, so use your time!

If a thrown stone would have a awareness, it would think: "I'm just flying because i want to!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Until i get my own rooms/flat/etc my role in CS is a passiv one. For the next few month (now: October 2010) i'll be just a surfer not a host.

Interests

I'm interessted in reading books.
A great part of my live is music. I'm playing the double bass, sometimes in orchestra, essembles or soloistic. I also tried to learn walkin' bass, for some jazz, but all the time there were to much other pieces to learn (mostly for the orchestras).
Currently i'm learning to play the ukulele, but i'm still at the very beginning.
An other Instrument i play is the kazoo. :D
But those instruments still aren't the only noises i do: i'm singing in some choir (bass).
But music isn't the only thing in my live. Actualy it's getting a smaller and smaller part...
I also love doing some sports: swimming, jogging, golf (but i'm a realy poor golfer :D), any sports for fun (without a real competition)... chess :D
and lots more
