ABOUT ME

I'm a travelling lover! The last years I've been more abroad than at home. Either for my job, or even more often on my bycicle.

Together with my Girlfriend (draco) on the road again.

Well, and now a bit about myself: I like everything outdoors, but also having a couple beers together with some good people, live concerts from metal to jazz, interesting discussions, nature and photographing nature, good food (who doesn't ;)

I live togheter with my girlfriend, her profile is draco, and two cats. We are multivores, but that we eat meat doesn't mean we don't enjoy vegetarian food, we welcome everybody and every lifestile and will happily enjoy anything you like. My rule for such things is simple: If you eat it I eat it ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

Live life and enjoy it, don't wait for a better opportunity in future!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We welcome everybody who doesn't only take but also give. Most likely this will be interesting stories about your country and your travels, or cooking together something from your country.

I can show you around Winterthur and the surroundings, show you nature close by (for example the frogs and newts in our forest next door) or farther away, for example a multi day hike in the alps. I have most of the gear for camping too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Got hosted so many times, over this and other platforms or just like: Oh hi, you want to stay somewhere this night? Come in!!
I always enjoyed it a lot and want to give back a little of it to the world, so be welcome!

Of course I'm also member of similar organisations, Warmshowers (cyclists only), Be Welcome, and Velodach (Swiss cyclists exchange)

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Recently a lot of science fiction, some fantasy, occassionaly an interesting biography. For example Andreas Eschbach, David Brin, Tad Williams

Music: Rock has my biggest share, a lot of it progressive. But i like to listen to anything which is interesting. That means from somebody who understands music as a craft. Examples: Arena, Queen, Dream Theater
