About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Save money during my trips because I really spent too much :)

Build the most cost-effective mosquito trap that really works.

ABOUT ME

Although German (married to Nemia, a Filipina), I am born in Stockholm, Sweden. Most of my life I lived in Hong Kong (since 1982) and since 2017 in the Philippines. I went to school there, graduated from secondary school and did an internship at a German computer firm. After that I stayed on for a while, went to a client, joined another firm before setting up on my own in 1994.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't do unto others what you don't like others do unto you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
