CURRENT MISSION

being honest to myself and kindhearted to others.

ABOUT ME

I love to hang around with my friends, family in particular with my beautiful girlfriend Irina, laughing a lot and making fun. Ever since I have a deep love for making and listening to music. Especially jazz, funk, soul, raggae and hip hop grooves. But actually everything that touches my soul in a way.

Moreover I love to write and read. Hermann Hesse and Haruki Murakami mostly inspired me literally and Ken Wilber, Erich Frommm, Carl Rogers and Fritz Perls intellectually. Weird mixture, i know.

I like photography very much. You can have a short look at my art of photography on www.jenswinkler-fotografie.jimdo.de

I love martial arts and eastern philosophy. I like Chi-Gong, Meditation, etc. Though I am doing this unfortunately unfrequent.

But mostly I get inspired by getting in contact. This is my spiritual and human interest. My biggest interest is to get to know people, cultures and religions and not only understand but feel differences and experience ways of beeing.

PHILOSOPHY

It is impossible to make up a lack of direction with speed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I heard of this wonderful network first when I was walking the Camino de Santiago. Until now I profit in a way, that I got hosted by guys around the world. Now - after a break - I want to host on my own and give this beautiful network back, what I received.
