About Me

Call it idealistic, but I think it is a shame that we throw away so much stuff! I consider every single piece of material a resource, not waste. I believe that it is possible to reuse or recycle anything. So I am on my way to learn how to achieve this. I am a passionate dumpster diver as well (why throw away so much good food??).
I spend a big portion of my day either running, cycling or swimming, preferably outdoors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't like the standard sight-seeing way of travelling like having points on a list that one must see and checking them off one by one. Instead I prefer seeing places from a non-tourist point of view! Couchsurfing is the best opportunity for that kind of experience! This way one discovers treasures one would never have dreamed of!

Interests

Did I mention running already :P? Ok, to keep it short: sports!
But I don't spend all 24/7 with that, so there are more important interests as well, which are: friends here, friends there, friends everywhere :) And I like to share all my friends' interests of course which is everything from food, music, discussing politics, the world, life,...

Music, Movies, and Books

I noticed that I like composers starting with a B in their name: Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner, Berlioz, mendelssohn Bartholdy...
