ABOUT ME

The first day of the year I can walk outside without a jacket is a holliday to me (if you know how mean german winters can be you'll understand) and I love summerevenings spend together on a meddow with a nice (once cool) drink, a guitar and conversations with silence in between because we have time... I never said I wasn't romantic...
Important to me are friends and family and somehow I'm kind of living for arts. They all keep me moving.
Once moving I'm fascinated by new places and people, of the special things of every person and every place.

PHILOSOPHY

Wer nicht lebt wie er denkt,
denkt irgendwann wie er lebt.

Who doesn't live like he's thinking
will somewhen think like he's living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Come over and you'll see ;)
Well... After moving out from home I somehow lost track but I want to get back becaus cs really is a good thing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

GREAT! Meet a lot of nice people I don't want to miss. And somewhen realizing that people I become friends with are couchsurfer gives me the feeling of beeing right here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

seeing Mt. Kilimanjaro every morning for some time of my life * how languages open up doors * more than a 1000 eggs transportet on a bicycle through Dar Es Salaam rush hour *

Teach, Learn, Share

I can at least a little: play the guitar, paint, write short storys, sew, play summertime on a jazzharp... There are a lot of things I do a little and can teach a little. But aren't it the small things that make life this big thing? And of course I know the city I live in, some very nice corners, cafes, museums...

want to learn: walk on my hands and see the world out of another perspective, jonglage, give/throw things away, stop writing to-do-lists, les habitudes du sud, draw the pictures I have in my head, Kiswahili, about you
