CURRENT MISSION

To learn how to teach others to care.

ABOUT ME

Im a big guy with a small heart, I enjoy nature and boardgames most of all.
I also enjoy fitness, hiking and teamsports on amature level.
I have been through some struggles, and now I'm devoted to share my experiences with others so they maybe find some recognition or comfort in my stories.

In general I like talking and being social a lot, yet still I'm more of an introvert.
So I can enjoy silence just as much as conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind, it goes a long way and might just change your life and that of those around you for the good.
Be polite, most of the times people around me don't deserve to have my shitty day on their platter.
Be real, this one I find to be the hardest and also the most rewarding of the three, by showing my true colours other show theirs.. and only by being truthfull love can thrive in its most pure nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to both host and surf, but I dont know when I'll go abroad again.
My house isnt big, but it is cosy and I will share it.
You can use my stuff, enjoy my cooking (or I'll enjoy yours) and as long as you dont break anything you'll have a free stay!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No experiences yet, but I sure hope to have some great ones in the future!

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy movies, music and book a LOT!
Some movies I really like are: The fountain, Amelie, The curious case of Benjamin Button, 300 and everything with superheroes (especially Iron Man)

I enjoy books a lot as well, mostly fantasy and sometimes some thrillers (Dean Koonz is great imo)

And there way too many songs, bands, genres of music that I like to write down here.
Lately I'm really into Emancipator (downtempo) and Dub FX.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen and done some really amazing things in my life, like performing a musical in India for orphaned children from the street, or climbed a mountain (however small it was) and the beautifull city of Venice.

But the one thing I cherish te most is that I have, with the help of AA, recovered from addiction and that I have found the freedom to live without the desire to drink or use drugs.

Teach, Learn, Share

The one thing I do best is care.
I love to hug people, to listen to their story, to share my mistakes so maybe others won't have to make them, to do small things without expecting something in return (which sometimes is hard because I also have an ego who now and then needs to claim its place), to be the kind customer who says thank you and have nice day, to go the extra mile whenever it may bring joy and to love the people around me whether I know them or not.

The one thing I wish to learn is to teach others how to care.
Maybe I can teach somebody how to make a nice pasta so they can treat someone else with it, maybe I can help somebody open up some more with my own honestness and maybe I might be able to show you how to be as crazy as I am sometimes.
But I really hope I can grow to be a loving person who inspires others to love (themselves and others).

I really, really love to share!
My stories, passions, humour, recipies, time, love, friendship, peace of mind, and everything else someone might find worth having.
