CURRENT MISSION

try to look over the rim of a teacup :)

ABOUT ME

When I'm not studying (which seems to happen quite often ;)...)I travel as much as I can, enjoy nature, work as a snowboarding teacher, write and revise for a snowboarding magazine, work for a radio station, do some promo stuff (worst case option), enjoy art or being with my friends and family...

PHILOSOPHY

To see a world in a grain of sand
and a heaven in a wild flower
hold infinity in the palm of your hand
and eternity in an hour.

[William Blake]

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

have hosted loads of people (sometimes friends of friends etc.) and always loved to show them around in my cosy university town freiburg and the surrounding black forest and share my little geographer's knowledge. have also surfed a few couches and hammocks (and some nice waves as well...;)). love it!
