About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm a avid guy, originally from a small village outside munich now a city child :) Working as a programmer, loving sports and would describe myself as a relaxed adrenaline junkie, always looking for the fascinating, the different, the interesting. Trying to woo others to be wooed myself.

Always looking to go deeper - so if you can hold a conversation beyond your name, where are you from, your job, traveling and if you like weather (rule does not count for people from UK) - then I think we can get along.

My biggest trips so far:
Going around the Balkans 4700 kilometer by myself in a car. Amoung others saw Vienna, lived Budapest, loved Belgrade, relaxed in Plovdiv, was stopped at the Turkish border, went to Greece - and got robbed, discovered Albania and partied in Ljubljana.

Went from Munich to Bangkok - overland - without planes - just with public transport. :D. Took me 6 Months and 15 days and I will probably annoy all my grandchildren with the story - if I get them I mean. (btw: highly recommend Iran, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Manipur in India to everybody - couldn't go Afghanistan so far) - All while wearing a black top hat and carrying a white rabbit :)

PHILOSOPHY

To be perfectionate something to 80 % its needs 20 % of someones energy. To perfectionate something to a 100 % the remaining 80 % of someones energy are required.

Means don't focus on just one thing in life, there are so many wonderful things to do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just moved from my village outside of munich (again) into munich - this time in my own apartment - as soon everything is set up I will start hosting! Not shure yet how to mount the guest hammock yet.

Interests

Traveling (I should right?), doing nonsense, wearing a hat, sitting in a bar, doing stupid things. Muay Thai. Having fun is also something I sometimes like to do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well amazing things are something I find diffcult to describe it could be a amazing evening, something life changing or something to brag with.

For example one extreme expirience I had: I was on a 22 hour train ride from Quetta, Pakistan to Karachi, the train was not climatised and in the night it had (felt) 5-10 degrees inside - I had no blanket or sleeping bag with me and in that night - I learned to appriciate warmth - not just feeling that for a moment - knowing that you will freezing for the next 8 hours - and not be able to change anything about it - which I think is a amazing thing to experience - even thought very cold. When you upmost wish is just to not feel cold anymore.

Teach, Learn, Share
