About Me

“Its my first time taking along a hitchhiker. The determining factor was: At first, you walked by and smiled. Good vibes. When you came back and asked me, I did not really think about the decision.“

Welcome :-)
I'm Leo, ambivalent original, optimistic.
My home town is Tübingen near Stuttgart, but at the moment I live and work in Frankfurt.

Music:
Everything! Depends on mood, but there is basically no style or genre that I exclude.
Love classic rock guitarists like Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour. Also some german bands like element of crime or tocotronic. Besides that, I listen to many things from classic and jazz to rap, electronic and even “selected“ mainstream, just depending on mood and situation. And it's always great to discover local music in different languages.

Books:
I mainly read fact books, no novels. Well, sometimes. Uri Adelmann / James Salter / Rüdiger Nehberg

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking from Germany to the Turkish border - this experience taught me that you can find helpful people everywhere!

Teach, Learn, Share

Would enjoy to learn & practise foreign languages
