PHILOSOPHY

Quotes I like:

(unknown)

I love deadlines. I like the swhooshing sound they make as they fly by.
(Douglas Adams)

Yesterday I woke up and my girlfriend asked me: Did you sleep good? And I said: No, I made a few mistakes.

Research is to see what everybody else has seen and to think what nobody else has thought of.

I never met a microbe I didn't like.
(Stanley Falkow)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to be a very polite and respectful couchsurfer. That means I leave everything as clean as I found it and try to blend in as well as possible in a given couchsurfing environment.

Interests

SPORTS
I like to be in motion, especially in water or air - that's why I do trampolining and climbing.
I would like to do kitesurfing, but I am landlocked at the moment ;)

NATURE
Mountains, lakes, herbs, traditional Chinese Medicine

CREATIVE THINGS
doing things together such as spending a day fotographing a place or installing an indoor hammock together etc.

LANGUAGES
I am fascinated by speech, however, I sometimes think expressing things without words can even make more sense.
