CURRENT MISSION

For now: Getting older with pride... :))

ABOUT ME

Well I guess the best way to answer this question will be face to face, in a cosy kitchen after a yummy dinner, accompanied by a good bottle of dry red wine. :)

PHILOSOPHY

Let´s see what is written on today´s page of my philosophical calendar... Ah, here it is:

"At the end of my life I won´t regret the things I have done, but the things I have not done."

Well said!

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I guess communication can only bear good things! Whenever people come together, listen to each other, share a good time, this will make our world a better place to live! I´m looking forward to host and be hosted by people who see it the same way!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only great experiences! I like travelling with couchsurfing because you don´t feel like a tourist in an unknown place, but you can see the place through the eyes of your host. You begin to dive much deeper into the town, country, culture etc. And it is always loads of fun! Everybody who I met through CS was a real "Weltenbürger": friendly, generous, interesting and openminded.

Interessen

Talking to friends and strangers, enjoying good food (sometimes too much), reading both stupid and intelligent books, travelling, drawing and painting, playing parlor games, sleeping until it gets painful, staring out of the window, a good bottle of wine, walking through the town, go dancing, cleaning the kitchen when there is much more important things to do, listening to music, creating music (...well, let´s say: noise), cooking, taking fotos, kissing my girlfriend, dreaming of the sea (which is most of the time too far away), trying to save money for something important but then spending it immediately for some stupid stuff, answering to questions about my interests, ...

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Oh my god, I don´t remember THAT amazing thing in my life. Is my whole life flawed?! Maybe on the upcoming Couchsurfing Trips...

Lehren, lernen, teilen

My biggest talent is that I know a bit about almost everything... but I´m not REALLY good at any of these things. Maybe I´m too lazy to elaborate my skills.
Maybe I can teach some cooking. In Sicily I´ve learned some very good native recipes! Maybe in the right moment, I´ll even teach my father´s world-famous "Melanzane alla Siciliana"...
Furthermore I can seriously give some drawing lessons, show three chords on the guitar, and tell the amazing secret of how it is possible to sleep 12 hours and more every day...
