ABOUT ME

www.nickharwart.com

I am a full-hearted photographer,with a lot of curiosity.Photography and travelling are my passions,cause it makes me understand the world and broaden my mind.
I love meeting people, laughing together, having good conversations or just hang around together, letting the world go past and get lost out there.
I think I can say that you can count of me, though I am a little clumsy and crazy now and then.
You can adventure with me, get bored of me, get drunk, get sober,catch a movie,take a dive in the ocean or drive through the whole of europe(probably we have to find the suitcase with the gold before) ;)

I could tell everything and nothing bout me, but isn't it exciting to find out?

Nobody wants to just read what people are like,thats why we travel,isnt it?

What would Supertramp say :
"Happiness - only real when shared!"

PHILOSOPHY

Stay hungry,
stay foolish.

Sometimes you gotta jump off a cliff and build your wings on the way down.
-Annie Dillard

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Be my guest as long as you are willing to have a good time together and not just because it's for free.;)
I can help you with finding good places around, though I might not join you for everything as I am working in 3 jobs and studying.
If you like to cook something in the evening or share a beer, I am in for sure and I help you best I can.

Also feel free to read one of my many books (only few on english) , use my vinylplayer etc.

(We have nice rooftop to rest in daytime too ;) )

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did it now and then and had different experiences , mostly I stayed at least 3 days to also get to know the host and the city. During 2013 I did a documentary with a film team about couchsurfing,which made me travel whole Balkans.
The experience was always a blast, each individually.

The last stay in Israel was more of having a friendship as we travelled the whole country and also worked as photographer and journalist together.

I travelled a lot and I'd say - everything is possible.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Last year I travelled 8 countries,
cause of winning a competition. Each experience itself was outstanding.
So I could not really name one.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Oh I wouldn't consider myself as a teacher but for sure I will help with anything you ask me for.I know some things about this and that in music,films,media,travelling and in photography and related subjects.

I would like to learn a lot of things,but first of all it's great for me to connect with people and understand them and their way of life. I think you can learn in every conversation if you listen carefuly. It does not have to be anything in specific but if anybody can teach me parachuting I am all in ;).
