About Me
Befor you ask me to host you: Be verified at leat with 2 points of 4! Show a littlebit of effort! Write a good profil!
I am a calm, organised guy who is working as a fire protecting consulter. So I write concepts for architects and they need those for the building department. Anyway, a lot of law and paragraphs. Sometimes it is like a puzzle.
I am a good listener but also can talk a lot. It simply needs a spark.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think that a standalone hotelroom is in fact a CLOSED quarter and not very helpfull to meet other people or get in touch with outher cultures. And: there are so many stories I have been told when talking with other people. By the way: thats why I like hiking so much, alone with a large backpack you get easily in touch with people.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love english movies. Thats why I have build my own home cinema inklusive self made wooden frame for the cinemascreen. Most I enjoy concerts from e.g. Sting, John Mayer, Nolwen Leroy, Rolling Stones. Besides this I like to listen to different musics from different countries like russia or chinese pop music. Not that I dont appriciate english music, I really do.
I like movies for relaxation, not that heavy serious kind of stuff. If I want serious stuff I go to the office :-).
Books: not that much, cos I am a "writer" at work and after thousands of words every day, I am happy to watch.....yes...a movie. Besides that I read "The one purpose cookbook - joy of cooking meth - by Walter White and Jesse Pinkman" also " How to fake your death - by Elvis" and "Book - by Author McFakename" :-)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
In 2009 I have visited Hong Kong. The train took almost all night (a train for sleeping) from Guang Xi to Hong Kong. Totally alone I have visited this city. For that I have marked on a sattelite image the meeting point for the friend I wanted to meet. What a experience! Most people were very friendly and helped me to find my way.
On a hiking trip I asked for water at a farmers house and voilá: I stayed for one night. Normaly german people keep their distance between people they dont know, so that was ....nice.
I made a 4.500 Km roadtrip in the Pacific Nortwest of the USA and a part of Canada on my own. I have met awesome people who were into couchsurfing. #people are awesome!
Teach, Learn, Share
I am interested in nearly everything: Cooking, a little politics, flight navigation (VOR, DME...some aof this wired stuff), Scented water (so called eau de toilettes), Science (from how to defuse a mine to the string theory).
Hiking and sleeping in the woods (as you can see on the pictures).
It would take to long to list all this subjects in what I am interested in. All I can say is: I am not in the things I do not know.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can cook! Wouldnt it be nice to do a german meal?
Besides that I can lift some kilos, meaning that I can help in the garden for example.
Doing something usefull.
And before the question comes on the table: No, I will not share my sleeping place! Maybe only with a cat.
No smoking, no drugs!
