I'm an open and overly curious person, driven by a desire for new knowledge, experiences and people. I consider it important to be active in political and societal struggles. In all of my encounters, I consider mutual respect and a sense for the environment I/we are in as important. More precise: question yourself (and others), be nice, know your privileges, no discrimination of any sort - otherwise enjoy and have fun :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hospitality, kindness, sharing, trust and doing things without attaching an economic value are beautiful things I enjoy a lot and have too little in my life. I am hitchhiking as well. I think we need to make these things more of a habit. And I just plainly like to be in good company :)

Interests

I often try to escape the Gesamtscheiße (German words can do!) by doing sports like climbing/bouldering, running, cycling, etc. You can always discuss day-to-day or general politics with me as well as the great struggles of our times. I can be a serious person after all...
Anyway, you want to tell me about/ show me your or other cultures, talk about your latest trip (physical or meta-physical), your personal growth and believes or just sit and silently drink beer at a bar? Fine as well!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked Europe in competition mode twice. I also went through most of East and South Africa by bus, hitchhking and with the train.

Teach, Learn, Share

Happy to learn and listen. I am talking too much anyway.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Random stories. Lots of them! :) Also keen to share ideas about how to build a better world. I did save the world several times, always before I forgot HOW on the next day :D can you relate?

I have lived, traveled and seen quite some places during the last years. Happy to share travel tips as well. That should be enough. Again, I should listen more and talk less but am always willing to share as much as I can.
