My friends, I am a human being with a special joy in music and nature . Professionally I am working as a veterinarian global development on livestock and health matters. Things changed a bit: I grew up at my family's farm and wanted to become a veterinary practitioner but with time, I got more and more interested in global matters and did my PhD in Uganda. From that moment on, I traveled a lot for work, which is pretty nice given that I like to travel. But also so share knowledge in my field which is difficult sometimes due to the fact that most people don't see the connection between emerging diseases in animals and humans, ecological changes and human population.

Apart from that, I am a quite life-enjoying guy and like to break through cultural walls of behavior. I guess we do all agree that this is annoying to see people caught in fear or worry due to their environment. There is so much more in life. This is something I really do like to share with others.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I like this attitude of people sharing life and getting closer by living together. Should definitely be something people get more used to. I think CS people are special and in most cases to get to know them is like a little surprising present in life - like getting to know a new colour or taste that makes life more beautiful.

Intereses

Good question. There are a lot: First of all: I like to talk to people and to learn about other cultures. The last 7 years of my life I was lucky to spend my education and work abroad in France, Austria, Uganda, Kenya, Italy, Mongolia and now Germany since this year. Apart from all that work stuff, I love music. I sing, play and I am always opened for sessions with musicians OR non-musicians (which do not exist in my opinion - the seed of music is in everybody). It is always good to share life with curious and positive people. And I am looking forward to do so!

Books? I actually like to read but more scientific stuff... You know pubmed? Although more recently, I found pleasure in romans and biographies too. Apart from that, I like most forms of plastic art and do a little sculpturing my own with marble mainly.
