ABOUT ME

...find out yourself...the way I am depends on the way you are. Besides, I distrust verbal self descriptions

PHILOSOPHY

everyone hides something good, every place some beautiful pearl; If you search for it, you'll not find it; look out and you'll see it

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

Well, travelling, of course, basically this one of the reasons why I bother to earn money, so that I can take off one day again; listening to and making music, sports, mountains, sailing, paragliding, reading.
