About Me

CURRENT MISSION

break the cycle

ABOUT ME

Surfed in California mostly and met the most wonderful people I consider friends now. Can't imagine my trip without couchsurfing.

I now start to host and so far it's been interesting too. I'm curious who is to come and what he'll leave and take with him.

PHILOSOPHY

I haven't figured out one yet so I stick to Bob Dylan:

All I can do is be me, whoever that is

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, definitely will participate with a couch as soon as I'm back home and if there's time, spend my time as a guide.

As traveller I think I'm good at listening at what people have to say and relate it with my own experiences. And help not to fall into calmness of everday life by my mere presence.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed the U.S. and got totally hooked. It's an awesome community, one of the best projects ever.

I'm getting my first hosting experiences now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travel round the world at the moment, that's quite amazing for me.

Most of the beauty I've seen can be experienced everyday, but it seems to be a special thing to be able to enjoy and find it nowadays.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can cook gorgeous Gnocchi Carbonara.
Good in sports.
If you want to talk about Life Science and Chemistry, I think a gathered a punch of knowledge about that.
Can tell what it's like to travel in India, Bangkok, Bali, Singapore, Japan and Mexiko and the US. And what it's like to live in Austria.
