CURRENT MISSION

"I am on a mission from God" comes closest - but more in the Blues Brothers philosophy

ABOUT ME

Travelling has started for me with 14 years of age when I toured Europe six weeks with a friend and a bicycle. It has never stopped since. Favourite places are still Ireland (where I own a small field stone cottage), Munich, Sydney and Barcelona, where some good friends of mine live.

PHILOSOPHY

Change is the spice of life and the mother of enjoyment

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have met so many hospitality in my life all across this planet, I enjoy to give back some of it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I startet hosting in spring 2013 and had around 20 couchsurfers as guest and it was just fun. Very honest people, we had a great time together, went to the old part of town, to the Baltic Sea, watched the Eurovision Song Contest with several friends, did some pub crawling in and I introduced them to the local rheas (Nandu birds) which we have here outside town in the wild ;-)

Interests

My two kids, travelling, socialising, my little Irish cottage, my pub quiz events (I'll invite you to one if you arrive).

• birds
• pub crawls
• traveling
• blues
• hiking

Music, Movies, and Books

Marx Brothers, Miss Marpel and Tarrantino movies and (nearly) all music stuff, from Jazz to Hip-Hop to classical music to folk rock. Especially when it is performed live.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've picked up a hitch-hiker 30 years ago on a small coast road in the west of Ireland. She was absolutely soaked even it has been a very dry day. She was a very quiet co-passanger and wanted to leave the car before we entered the next village. I later learned that this woman had drowned herself several years ago exactly on that spot where I had picked her up. And I was not the only one who had met her since.
