CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I've spent the better part of my life confined to lecture halls and classrooms dreaming of a life on the road. In April 2008 I graduated and ever since, I've been on the loose, traveling Eurasia and seeing what kind of misadventure I could stir up. I am very contemplative and inquisitive kind of guy. I love learning about different cultures and peoples' personal histories. I take lots of pictures, make travel movies and try to post blogs on my website.

PHILOSOPHY

Travel until you can't continue any further, and then help others travel in your place.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed on couches across the world and I have hosted people and helped fellow travels whenever possible with a place to crash, a hot meal or a friendly conversation.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been offered couches and floorspace and I've had no negative experiences thus far. I have been helped out immensely throughout my travels because of kind people and the Couchsurfing network.

Interessen

I am interested in experiencing the full spectrum of human emotions, seeing every culture, custom and country, tasting every dish and drinking every beer.

• culture
• beer
• drinking
• movies
• traveling
• socializing

Musik, Filme und Bücher

The type of books I like are those that expose me to another way of looking at the world. Great books have to be put down from time to time and contemplated. They have characters so complicated that you feel as if they are your friends and confidants.

When it comes to my musical tastes, I think I was born in the wrong era. I should have lived in the 1960s. I love blues, old R&B, and rock music.

I love movies. I can spend hours talking about them to anyone you will listen. I love drama, dark comedies and tragedies. I relish any free opportunity to sit and watch a good movie and get lost in the story.
