About Me

I am a very open minded person that look forward to go on adventures and trying new stuff. I care about the world, and try to make it to a better place. The nature is my friend. I like to swim in lakes and walk barefoot trough the woods. I slackline a lot in the summer and everyone is welcome to join me :-)
What my job is? I try to rescue the world. Stop produce trash and recycle or up-cycle stuff.
I like to repair and to create things with my hands.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I try to travel as much as possible to meet great people around the world and have good talks.

Interests

I love playing volleyball and slacklining. If I work at my home desk there is a guitar to play in breaks. My grandfather taught me how to play Chess and I would play every time someone dares me. Up-Cycling is my passion.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a lot of music. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Pink Freud, Die Ärzte, KC &the sunshine band, Journey, Queen, Seeed, Schrottgrenze, David Bowie, MashUp Germany (Oh I love mashups!), Jimmy Hendrix, Ratata. I like the 60s, 70s and 80s music but also electro swing or some kind of dub step.

Movies: Scott Pilgrim against the world, The Last Unicorn, Star Wars, Star Trek, Clockwork Orange, Indiana Jones, Scarface, Detroid Rockcity, The Lair of the White Worm, Mega Shak vs. Mecha Shark, Back to the future.

I also seen every cartoon (and the most of other series) from the 80's to 2000.
Cpt. Planet, Transformers, Lucky Luke, Dragonball, Saiber Rider, Bionic Six, Megaman etc...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Up-Cycle to reduce the trash we produce every day.
- founded a public charity in Germany and used to be a bartender in my own bar.
- joined a whale watch
- started to do parkour

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you some tricks in parkour and how to creating origami creatures.
I am happy to have a jam session with people :) I have a small work bench for my upcycling ideas and you are welcome to upcycle with me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My Chili Con/Cin Cane is legendary ! I would like to cook it to prove my skills, haha. My grandmother taught me how to make the best apple pie! Oh I love this pie. This origami stuff isn't as difficult as it looks like. I would be glad to teach you the one or other figure.
