About Me

CURRENT MISSION

On the way back to Berlin (GER) from Athens (GRE)

ABOUT ME

I didn't take care of my couchsurfing profile the last years. In meantime many things happened, I moved from Berlin to Athens, enjoyed it, lived here, and struggled with the "situation". (Some people call it "crisis", some "capitalism"). Many new impressions, progress, new experiences, challenges. And now three years later I am about to travel back to Berlin. By bike. By cargobike. [ Facebookpage: https://www.facebook.com/hittheroadjack2014/ ]

Before Greece I used to travel way more, couchsurfed and hosted. Sometimes using the couchsurfing site. Now I am grateful to have the opportunity to be "on the road again".

I try to be a peaceful person, full of respect to everyone and everything. And I enjoy good meals, a beer after a long ride/walk with friends, art, movies and photography. I have many questions as many of us and I try to keep this up, to question everything.

And I still don't like to fill in this "about me"stuff here! Yes, I prefer Face-to-face communication ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

If there is nothing moving anymore you may stand still

In my eyes life is about perceiving, earning experiences, learning more about the world and yourself. And about respect to almost everything.... dont let the intollerant people get you down

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting AND crashing at someone's couch is like travelling, you hear about another point of view, many interesting stories about other places. .

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Back then in Berlin (2009) I started to host after I had a very nice experience in Portugal where I was hosted the first time. I had ca. 20 guests from all over the world, some are still friends or even close friends. Here in Athens I had many guest (friends of friends of friends) without using this page. Way too many unexpected, breathtaking, wonderful experiences than I could fit in this small column.

Interests

Cycling, not just for perfomance, more for getting forward in mind is my top priority lately. Exploring abandoned buildings with rooftops, cities in general, summer, music, travelling, photography and taking pictures, movies (especially in movietheatres), origami enjoy delicious food, beer, wine, everything thats fine and "eatable/drinkable"... getting forward and resting at the right time!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like movies that make you think and/or smile, music that makes you think, forget and dance and books that create pictures in your head.
