About Me

CURRENT MISSION

“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” (Albert Camus)

ABOUT ME

I'm a straight, open minded and curious "Freigeist", daily creating and celebrating my own "Zeitgeist" ;-)
I fight for individual freedom and against stupid and useless conventions. Therefore my circle of friends is aged from 19 to 70+.

I'm grateful for my beloved parents. They gave me a great childhood and a good feeling of what it means to be a real family . What a fantastic experience and magnificent gift! So I was able to make my way through the ups and downs of life.

I cancelled my occupational and academic carreer for a free and self-determined life to be aimed at happiness and honesty. Real friendship, humor, passion, veneration and humility are the mainpillars of my thoughts and actions.

To get more information about me we shall meet face-to-face. Until then you may have a look at my Facebook-profile ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is short. So break the RULES, FORGIVE quickly, KISS slowly, LOVE truly, LAUGH uncontrollably, and NEVER REGRET anything that made you smile." (Paulo Coelho)

"Das Leben wird vorwärts gelebt, aber rückwärts verstanden." (?)

Mein Motto: Auf das Beste hoffen und auf das Schlimmste vorbereitet sein

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Newbie ;-)

Interests

Light-Art-Performance- & Light-Painting-Photography
Due to this passion me and my crony friend and workmate Andreas founded in 2008 the Artistic Community Light & Form
(german: Künstlergemeinschaft Licht & Form).

Please just have a wondering look on our website or connect with us either on the official website of the Light Painting World Alliance or on our Facebook-Page.

Outdoors, Hiking, hangin' up with friends, meeting people, searching for fair and open minds, nights full of loud music, serious conversation, endless laughter, magical unlikely matches of Backgammon and so on ... simply abandon oneself to ecstasy and happiness ;-)

Music, Movies, and Books

I earn my living as projectionist at the Lichtspiel & Odeon - two tiny little arthouse-cinema with Café and Bar - so call me a "movie-geek" ;-) And by the way, the Lichtspiel - Cinema - our loved little independent movie theater was judged as Best German Arthouse-Cinema 2011

I like movies from Tim Burton, Milos Forman, Michael Haneke and the Coen-Brothers. I adore Stanley Kubrik and his complete works ...

I also like the Alien-, Terminator- and Matrix-Series, some of Tarrantino, "39,90", "Harold & Maude", "Lord of War", the Monty Pythons, not all of Woody Allen and "Natural Born Killers" ... could count for hours ... BRAKE

Music: Fat Freddys Drop, Sola Rosa, Kasabian, Velvet Underground, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, The White Stripes, Johnny Cash, The Can, Awolnation, Morcheeba, Florence and the Machine, Kitty Daisy & Lewis, The Black Keys, (early) Pink Floyd, Lou Reed, Grateful Dead, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Ravi Shankar ...
