About Me

ABOUT ME

Hey Friend, long time no see!

Soo.. I constantly find out new things about myself with the help of others while talking, dancing, trying things or just silently enjoying time passing by :)
Until now I know that..
I like to laugh and make people laugh by taking life and its challenges not too seriously. I'm in love with emotions and things that create them - especially music!
I try to spread good vibes, be open-minded, honest and nonjudgmental ;)

I like beer, talks, nature, calm atmosphere or the exact opposite in form of eternal music events.

PHILOSOPHY
I thought a lot about my philosophy, sense of live 'n stuff. In the end, I came to the conclusion: just don't take life too serious!
If you want to discuss that, you're welcome :)

Besides that, this local saying fits very well:
Cologne's living philosophy:
It is, as it is.
It will be, as it will be.
It did always come out well.
What is gone, is gone.
Everybody's different.

In my freetime (or always) I'm curious about EVERYTHING. Especially in different kinds of culture and music (mostly with guitar and drums, but right know I'm discovering arabs music for example). I'm also trying many kind of sports although most time of my live I played football like a typical german. But last years I tried riding with racing bicycle, rugby, wind-surfing, climbing, capoeira... And I liked them all. Sadly I'm living now more ore less at the countryside again for a year or so. Here I'm now restricted to football again, but when you are doing an excotic sport - I'm in!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because borders don't exist for friendships

Interests

Soccer and sports in general, philosophy, meditation, hanging out with my friends, reading, listening to music with soul, being interested in everything.

One thing, that is very present in my life, is, that I cannot focus on one thing. I want to try out as much as I can. I'm no professional at anything I do, but I love doing it.
