ABOUT ME

after three years in Berlin, the travelling bug caught me again, or the prison of the routine rejected me again and send me away. Doing as much volunteer work as i can. Like to work in social projects or organic farming. Currently travelling Central America to Mexico to then stay a year in Canada.

Philosophy

Personal philosophies are a byproduct of the concentration on a truth searching individual. looking inside to find some kind of transcendental being, detached from a surrounding,and therefore a defining caracteristic personal center. Im centerless, therefore a galaxy of indefinite, constantly materialising and disappearing centers...therefore too much to put into a few lines, even though i do, centering me around too many centers, a never ending retorsion in a hermeneutical spiral. Yes, i think too much.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i did host in New Zealand which was awesome; couldnt do it in other places sadly, may it be for lack of space or lack of contribution of flat mates.

I traveled a bit using couch, but i want to do it a lot more. Its a great thing to facilitate the connection with locals instead of creating a parallel community of travellers in hostels.

Music, Movies, and Books

its hard to pick favourites when its all just momentary, racing past you in this ever accelerating spiral of electronic distribution.... but a few constants remain...for example Mozart! Never fails to make me happy or to tear me up because of his overwhelming beauty!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being reborn by an armed robbery, the pure sensation of being alive an almost incomprehensible high.

Teaching music to kids in the slums of guayaquil.

Living with gangsters and drugaddicts.

Being one of them.(Dont worry, not in that sense!)

Falling in love and illusion, that cramps crack the base of the skull.

Following these obsessions around the globe, without ever reaching fulfillment.

Meanwhile, while being invited to a Coffee at Atlanta airport, i ask to get 20 dollars worth of Hamburgers instead,... seems more logical after not having eaten in about 50 hrs.

Crying while jamming noisy freejazz attacks back in Germany, the depression of european life drawing pain circles on my forehead.

Montanita, the nose all puffed up and vomit flooding my doorstep, me, travelling extraterrestial highways, my body lying passed out under me on a distant bed.

Working with fishermen and get stuck without petrol 10 miles off the coast.

Unemployment and more rain.

Serving young twenty something workers at the hotel bar to get them drunk enough to go to the bosses place, while baby boomers twitch their drawn away insect eyes musing about reptilian domination. Star Gate is the truth!!

And finally love! For a while at least.

Being taken advantage off by australian carnies while trying to extort money out of aboriginal hordes, being fucked up on petrol.

Quitting that fuckin job.

Being taken advantage off by fruit farm millionaires and coked up contractors while working your ass off.

Quitting that fuckin job too.

Walking the bush, eucalyptus trees shimmering in all shades of silver, the earth reflecting red in bustling ozone heat.

Leaving Australia.

Hitching New Zealand.

Walking on my own in Fjordland, exhausted to near death, but happy and near alive.

Berlin! It sucks as much as it is fascinating.

Crossing the caribbean from Jamaica to Panama and entering Bocas del Toro with 50 to 60 knots winds.

Talking to thousands of interesting people.

Talking to thousands of boring people.

Defining oneself through travel stories to mark individuality and uniqueness.

Stopping to tell the same shocking stories over and over again.

DMT! Serenity and unhuman happiness.

Nature all over the world in all its unique and diverse beauty, in its raw, obscene, twisted ways.

Me!

You!

Everybody!

Teach, Learn, Share

can teach guitar, bass, saxophone, piano and german, english and spanish and above all nonsense. like to talk about most things especially if there is enough room to take a piss as well, but always with the best intentions. Mocking is a way of showing love!!! above all i wanna learn as many languages as possible, as i am interested in philosophy and how different languages make different things thinkable.

What I Can Share with Hosts

stories, discussions, making music...I am a pretty mean dishwasher
