I love nature, yoga and open road. I believe that what's in your head is the only thing standing between you and your dreams, and there is absolutely nothing you can't do if you really want it.

PHILOSOPHY
I try to learn something new every time I get a chance and never say no to a new experience. I try not to judge a situation or a person unless I experience it firsthand. I always choose a road or a mountain. Ocean is boring (no offence, ocean people, it's just me). Winter is awesome. The best smell is that of snow and burning wood. Never pass up a good conversation, be it about how bubble wrap is made or what meaning of life is. Learn from everyone you cross your path with. Be responsible for everything that happens to you. Don't complain, listen to music and appreciate good people in your life. When in doubt, go hiking. Or riding. Or get some tan.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

Couchsurfing is an amazing way to meet people from all around the globe. I've met some truly amazing people through it. It's fun and it changes your perspective. It can also change your life. I think it's slowly changing mine.

So if I'm contacting you asking for a couch, I'm not doing it because I want a free place to sleep, I'm doing it because I want to meet you. Likewise, if I accept your request, it's most likely because I want to meet you and not because you're on a budget.

Interessen

I love yoga, mountains, all kinds of sports (weightlifting rocks) and outdoors. I ride a bicycle (touring/mountain) and an adventure motorcycle, and I can't choose which I like more. I do a little of photography, play a little of guitar, do a little of rock climbing, play some tennis. I prefer to do many things and be (maybe less than) average at them, than do only one but be really good at it (judge me). A camping nerd.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Jazz, blues, rock, pop, any music that touches soul (except hip-hop, rap, and k-pop). Pink Floyd is God, and nothing comes above or even remotely close to it. Movies - Greenaway, Almodovar, brothers Coen, Mike Leigh, Milos Forman, and it will get too long if I continue.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Have been teaching yoga from my heart for over ten years now.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I can teach you a little about yoga, meditation, nutrition, bike touring, weightlifting, camping, or functional MRI. I can also teach you how to do nothing if you're not good at it (best skill ever, took me a while to get it right).

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

Adventures, stories, time, energy, good mood, knowledge, and my sheer awesomeness. My cooking skills if really necessary, but trust me, you don't want me to share that.
