About Me

Well, it's always that thing to describe yourself... For sure I am a very comunicative guy and I love to meet new people.

I am constantly looking for inspiration, and where better to find it than in new people, new places and new situations...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Merely I participated as Host. But there was this one time when I moved to England and had no Home yet, I was surfing a couch for one night.

So far I only made very nice experiences with Couchsurfing. We had a lot of fun with all our Guests and I am looking forward to surf a little more this Year.

MY VERY BEST EXPERIENCE WITH COUCHSURFING

Haha... Paul and Matthew were my guests once some couple Years ago. We live 1200km apart from each other, yet we developed a friendship out of this Couchsurfing days and we meet at least once a year to meet and have fun. As I lived in England, Powel even came across the Channel to give us a visit.

If I can help anybody, only with let him/her sleep in place, it's no question for me!

Interests

My grand passion is my band "Okto Vulgaris". where I play the drums.
We toured over 6 Countries since we started 3 years ago and i'm infected. I love touring live, and hanging out with crazy people.

My other passion is the Photography, which is also my main Job. I am a Portrait and Fashion Photographer in Chur, Switzerland. Just at this moment I am shifting to videos, but I wouldn't call myself a professional videographer yet.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like almost all music, but my heart beats to electric guitar riffs and bouncing drums. Yes, Rock is my favourite, but I also like pretty much of everything else. I don't judge by genre, I judge by the song =)

Also I love to read. I am in a constant battle between educational books and fantasy stories. I love developing knowledge, skill, and personality with books, but I draw a lot of inspiration out of fantasy books.

My alltime favourites are:

- Eragon (The Movie is total rubbish!!! But the books outstand everything!)
- The Mortal Instruments
- A Song of Ice and Fire
- Pride + Prejudice
- The Girl with all the Gifts (only Zombiebook I like)
- Pretty much every Dan Brown Book
- Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet and all Novels from this series
- Homo Faber!!!!
- The Witcher Books by Sapkowski

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To be honest, I experienced a lot of crazy stuff and most of it was totally amazing.

Well, maybe one amazing thing was moving to england. As I was visiting some prior Couchsurfers of mine in their country, I met a girl. We were falling in Love and thought about possibilities to be together. 3 Month later we met on an Island between France and England where we startet a new life together. We had no Home, no Job, 2pieces of Luggage and little money.

That was very exciting, and it definitely added up some spice to my life.
Best thing: she's still my girlfirend and at the moment we life in Switzerland.
