ABOUT ME
I like to think a lot and therefore like to meet people of all age from all over the world. Everybody has a story to tell and I like to listen to it. I will try my best to make you feel comfortable and let you have a great time or just let you have a rest, your choice! As we have kids, in general, we prefer two nights of stay.
PHILOSOPHY
I admire a childs curiosity, their diligence to continuously learn things and ask questions. Life is a learning process, you should never stop to be open for new thoughts. One also needs to have dreams he wants to live for. Always try to be yourself! Even if other people call your wrong, you should follow your dreams. Only you know, what you really want.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Nothing is more boring then everyday life. Couch surfing is a great way to break this chain!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Couchsurfing is a 100% positive experience for me and it is building bridges across the globe.
Interests
I like to travel a lot and amazed by both, buzzing cities and quiet nature. I also do a lot of sports especially soccer. I`m a nightowl, I either can't fall asleep as I think about so many things or I don't want a good talk come to an end. I love philosophy!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Everytime I just pop my head out of my comfort zone, out of everyday life and that kind of safety we associate with, I savoured the great moments in my life. Taking half a year off to travel around South Africa and talking to all these people was a journey to myself actually, something that will always impact my life. Be sure to check out some of the photos in the photo section, there is a Southern Africa folder.
Teach, Learn, Share
Visit different places and talk to people! This globalized world is in desperate need of young and old people of different countries getting to know and respect each other and develop some new solutions. Be open-minded, not a couch-potato :)
