Last year I quit my job and I'm still in a period of a break, at the moment searching for a new job (which hopefully is different to the one before, more connected to earth and nature...)

I'm interested in every kind of people and culture - borders and boundaries are needless. I prefer total freedom regarding personality, speech, sexuality, religion, art (music) and nature.

I'm kind of an old-fahioned guy, loving vintage stuff (my Mercedes Oldtimer from 1976 for example) and I'm not a great social networker, I rather talk to people directly. But it's a cool thing to get in touch to someone through CS.

I love tasting new different kinds of beers and food and listen to all kinds of music live and at home. Actually music is my passion. Sometimes I also create some own stuff as a singer, mostly Rock and Metal style.

I always try that my actions on earth does not affect the environment too much. That's a lifetime challenge, but very important for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In former days I had very good experiences as beeing couchsurfing host. In South America I met super nice guys (in Rio Gallegos) where I was guest via CS. This is great opportunity to get to know some interesting persons, it's way better to participate in a foreign way of life...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being host to very nice Couchsurfers
Travelling to excotic places

Teach, Learn, Share

After my trip in South America I still try to get along further with Spanish. And I like to learn Dutch basics. I'm interested in alternative ways of living and would like to have my own field for veggies und fruits (and maybe bees) in the near future.
