ABOUT ME

'One day, I'll be a runaway, write a book, inaugurate a backpackers, develop some new maths formula.'

Well, I wrote that a few years ago. Still there is no hostel, but at least another journey to come. I am so curious!

PHILOSOPHY

When I feel alive
I try to imagine a careless life
A scenic world where the sunsets are all
breathtaking.

(Words by Zack Condon)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Enjoyed amazing hospitality in New Zealand at Marilyn's house, with pancakes and everything in the morning at five o'clock, that night the new pope was elected, and she drove us to the airport afterwards. Surfed with Chris along the east coast of the United States, New York, Washington D.C., our base was his chilled flat next to a lake near Raleigh, jumped from the 10 meters springboard at night after having climbed the fence, dined with Juli and some elder statesmen who brought the wall down in Budapest and many more...

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I love the books of Hermann Hesse, all of them are amazing, without exception. Recently read Oscar Wilde's book about Dorian Gray. (Haha, recently is somewhat 5 years ago now.) Fernando Pessoa. Other appealing authors are Max Frisch, Milan Kundera, Peter Handke, Laszlo Krasznahorkai etc. Not to forget Don Quixote de la Mancha by Cervantes.

Music: At the Drive-in/ John Frusciante/ John Butler Trio/ Calexico/ Ben Harper/ Greenday/ Offspring/ Blink182/ Dover/Jose Gonzales/ Pink Floyd/ System of a Down/ Rage against the machine/ Refused/ Sigur Ros/ The Mars Volta/ Therapy/ Elliot/ Bran Van 3000/ The Album Leaf/ The Cat Empire: the night that never ends is definitly my favorite at the moment...

Many new ones today:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

www.atlasofthings.com

Teach, Learn, Share

Taught mathematics at university once. I try to learn something new every day. 2 years ago I quit my job and learned a lot about photography and Photoshop since then. If I combine I might explain Gaussian Blur properly nowadays. I could also teach foosball, spent far too much lifetime with that!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good stories, at least.
