Born In Viernheim, Germany in the Odenwald ( Oden forest), I moved to Juneau as a kid and spent my childhood in the great Alaskan outdoors.

My interests have always been athletically inclined, as I grew up playing tennis every day until I was an adult. Ive dropped my dedications to tennis, and subsitituted in a mix of hiking, biking, skiing,rock climbing, swimming and jogging. Anything to keep me outside and active. I have a great respect for nature, and being in it brings a certain peace to my spirit.
I also have a deep respect and appreciation for music and the way it brings people together at a level that is beyond words. There is no prerequisite for enjoying music, its something that is fundamental within all of us, independent of age, race, or gender.

Occupationally I am a bartender at a local Brewpub in Anchorage, Alaska.
I enjoy satisfying others, which is why I enjoy bartending- its all about making people happy and giving them a good experience. Thats what brings me joy in life, seeing a smile on other peoples faces.

I try to lead a healthy lifestyle, eating healthy and being fit, but I also enjoy having some fun and going out to on the weekends. I LOVE whisky, enjoy cigars, and hookah/ shisha. I firmly believe life is all about moderation.

Im always up for an adventure, and looking to experience new things and meet new people to broaden my horizon and finds new fascinating interests. As far as I know, I only have this one life, so I want to live it to the max! That being said, I d occasionally like to just be lazy and watch a movie and eat a pint of Ben and Jerries.. Yin to the Yang.

I look forward to getting to know new places and faces thru this website, hope to meet you soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Ive been to a few countries, and lots of concerts, and several music festivals, but Id like to further explore the globe and myself, in the process. I want to meet new people, listen to their stories and form connections with them.

My goal is to see as much of this beautifully diverse planet as much as possible, and learn all about how other people laugh, love, and live.

Traveling to me means broadening ones horizons and getting a better understanding of the world and oneself. In that process I believe you can improve your skills and be of more use to yourself and humanity to make the world a better place for us all.
