ABOUT ME

I love life, (hitch-)hiking, hanging out with friends, listening to good music on a comfortable couch with a good sound system (if you have all these three things at once - geez that's amazing!), eating good food and having deep talks about basically everything.
Working a lot together with refugees, I want to help them to get more rights and a better life in our society.
I'm a big fan of European Integration and football - so be aware of starting these topics because I might not stop talking for some hours ;)
I am also very interested in philosophy - not just in the philosophy you can read everywhere but especially in everyone's personal philosophy and way of living.
What I don't like is racism, sexism, intolerance and violence - so if you have different opinions on these issues you should look for another host because we would probably not have a nice time together.

PHILOSOPHY

As far as possible, I do the things I love. With energy and passion, you can reach so many good things for yourself and for other people. For me this is one meaning of life and it makes me very happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I was just couchsurfing in Amsterdam, Zagreb, Belgrade, Wellington, Christchurch, Te Anau (NZ), Haifa, Sofia, Skopje and Berat (Albania). I also had some couchsurfers coming to my place. I had nothing but good experiences so far.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music!
Just a couple of bands I enjoy:
Johnny Flynn, The tallest man on earth, The Shins, Simon & Garfunkel, Something à la mode, Eddie Vedder, Dota und die Stadtpiraten, Rodrigo Y Gabriela,... many more. I love getting to know new bands and songs. Please show me your favorites!
One of my favorite movies - Into the Wild, of course.
Twelve angry men is also a wonderful movie, that always encourages me to think and act by myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I visited the biggest pyramides in the world in Visoko in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I didn't even know they existed. A wonderful person who picked me up hitchhiking spontaniously took his day off and brought me there. We didn't even speak a common language. A wonderful experience that I will always remember.

Teach, Learn, Share

I got profound knowledge in how the European Union evolved and how it works - and many ideas how it should work and how to continue with the great idea of European Integration.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Knowledge in Non-Profit Project-Management, curiosity and positive Energy :)
