CURRENT MISSION

to build up civil society, to watch my son growing up, to spend time with the ones I love, to prepare my lessons properly, to learn Polish, to sleep as much as possible, to share empathy as much as possible...

ABOUT ME

I'm a human being. I'm trying to develop myself constantly in a clear direction. I often fail doing that. I work as a special needs teacher in a German Secondary School. I'm a classroom teacher of a 5th grade. I like my children, they are annoying and awesome. I find it peculiar to work for the state, while being against the state. I do have a philosophical counsellor, who brought me in touch with the ideas of Karl Marx, Theodor W. Adorno and Sigmund Freud. I adore all kind of theory. Plus I find it quite hard to find the link to the practical side of revolutionary ideas. I like fresh food and I do love cooking a lot. I dislike cooking just for myself, so you can always invite me for a get together. I like sharing a lot, even though I'm kind of straight forward, commanding people in the kitchen. I have no idea, what my family did 1933 and 1945. They remain mostly silent like in almost every emotional section of our life. I find that disappointing.

I play guitar in a music project called >>indiegograu<<. We produced an album in 2013. I can give you a copy ;-). Right now we've gone into a new period of hibernation. That's sad, but also the circle of social life :)

I would like to unite all those different shapes of myself to become my own unique transkultureller character, I would like it, if you could be a small piece of it. For real experience against machine like events...

PHILOSOPHY

I`ve already described this above, didn`t I? Anyway, I'm writing short stories about my travels. This may give you a taste of my philosophy, my ideas. And maybe about the places I traveled to as well.

"The dialectics of the Wonderland.

Without Alice the Wonderland is hard to stand.
Without the Wonderland Alice is just a girl."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

From my point of view couchsurfing community is at least one of the most anarchistic projects of today. Actually we have to be aware that capitalism is way stronger and way better organized than us (the comrades who died for are confirming this). But (!) we can break through economical and political pressure and forms partly, simply, actually, really! For example by couchsurfing project.

--> That's kind of a worn out statement. I've typed these lines in 2008, I guess.

Music, Movies, and Books

You should try a book from Christiane Rochefort. She was a French writer during the 70's. She wrote a couple of books, filled with beautiful dreams and ideas of anti authoritarian education. I'm trying to bring her back into the heads and bookcases of my fellows.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Witness the birth of my son.

The blue and white clear luminescent hands of my 99 year old grandmother. Imagine, what these farmers hands've done already... My hands are kind of the same, but more than 70 years younger and less experienced; big palms, long, thin fingers and long nails. The hands are kind of characteristical for my family. There is this ring on her left middle finger, which was given to her from her mother. The ring is more than 150 years old now. Time's running out, people, you'd better seize the day...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Turkish on a basic level.

I am participating in training sessions of non-violent communication. I can share my experiences.
