ABOUT ME

I am a somewhat normal guy. I don't know. I think who i am depends a lot on the situation and my current mood. There are obviously consistencies. Some of them relate to the color yellow others to my way of seeing the world that surrounds me.

PHILOSOPHY

Das Leben ist ein Ei!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by telling people about couchsurfing and how positive experiences you can make if you just try and open your mind for new and exciting people and countries...and of course by surfing, soon by hosting too...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very good so far...

Centres d'intérêt

I m interested in people, their ideas and their ways of coping with everyday struggles. I found out that i sometimes i really like "normal" peopel. Especially while hitchhiking, its sometimes amazing how wonderful people can be who are neither like you nor in any way outstanding but still magnificently individual.
Coming back to more "ground-to-earth" interests, i m very much into politics. Especially colonial history is one of my focuses right now, besides development studies in general. That is also why i am going to Marburg in a month to beginn my Master degree in "International Development Studies". Anyways. I love good Food. Very much. And high quality Drinks. Very much. And i love to prepare those things myself. I love taking a walk in the hills. Listening to vinyls, chatting with friends in bars. Hanging around on a summer night, till it gets to cold to move.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

When i looked down in the Ngorngoro Crater in Tanzania, East-Africa.
