ABOUT ME

I'm a restless soul.
Originally I'm from the south of Germany, but I moved to Berlin when I was 20.
I lived there for many years and then I went to Spain. From there to Mexico, back to Berlin, some time in the basque country, then 2,5 in Medellin, Colombia...livin la buena vida, enamorado de America Latina!!!
And now going on with the globetrotting: new experiences in CHINA!

PHILOSOPHY

do good and good will follow!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I can not offer a couch, but I'll gladly meet with couchsurfers to have a drink, go out to party or show them around!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed couches in Germany, Spain and Mexico and it has always been a great experience.
Also hosted when I lived in Tijuana.

Music, Movies, and Books

My life is all about music, I love Reggaeton, Reggae, Dancehall, Salsa, Merengue, Soca, Bachata, HipHop and more...

A movie that touched me a lot was a mexican low budget production "7 soles".

"America" by T.C. Boyle
"Istrucciones para cruzar la frontera" de Luis Humberto Crosthwaite

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

seeing colibris in my garden, reggae concerts in Berlin, playing chess on main street in Santo Domingo and Bogota, visiting my mother's birth place in the north of Sweden, living in Tijuana right on the mexican-american border, waking up every morning knowing: I'm in Colombia :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share my passion for music and the music itself.
