Hi couchsurfers - I have already traveled some parts of the eastern US coast and cities/regions such as NY, Philadelphia, Washington, Cape Cod and Acadia National Park. I will be traveling for another month from Boston to Denver with stops in Detroit and Chicago.
I am new to this community although we already had some couchsurfers in the residential community I live in. In Cologne I have 3 flatmates and a dog, so I know how to behave living with different people under the same roof. I also think that everybody should do what they have got to do, meaning I do not care about nationalities or sexual preferences at all! I always look forward to meet new people and I would love to see some of the places with the help and inside view of the people who actually live there.
I can be quiet and appear non existent, but - if you agree - I am always happy to have a good conversation or to hit the streets for a couple of beers. I am still living without a smartphone and I am traveling without a mobile, which makes communication sometimes a little bit difficult but also keeps my eyes and ears open to the things happening around me. But I always keep my word so I will not waste anyone's time.
And that is exactly what I abeautifulm going to stop doing now...
I look forward to meet everybody who accepts my requests and I have to thank you in advance for your kindness and your support!

Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand!

The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake.

Kurt Vonnegut

When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.

Mark Twain

Everything you own ends up owning you.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I do not travel to see buildings or natural wonders - I travel to learn about people and cultures. The greatest extreme I can think of is a normal person. And because life is so crazy and colorful, I might someday actually meet one. Until then I enjoy life's diversity.

As Bokonon says: 'peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from god.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Being part of a 3 day wedding ceremony and party in the middle of Poland

Visiting Michael Jordan's sports bar on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, drinking a beer, getting a few napkins as a souvenir and asking the barkeeper, if HE ever shows up in his own bar.
And the barkeeper says:

He's sitting right behind you!

Michael Jordan eats! Food! Like all of us! 3 Meters behind me!

INCREDIBLE!!!

教，学，和分享

I can always give help and advice on anything concerning my profession and I would of course be honored to accommodate my hosts if they should ever decide to visit Cologne once I am back!

I have been selling shoes, working in a dance academy, made a tank license in the German military, was a teaching student, cinema operator, junior film producer, location scout and right now I am building chocolate shops for Lindt&Spruengli all over Europe. If you are interested in any of this - I will be happy to tell you about it.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么
