CURRENT MISSION

Seeking discomfort... That's when you learn the most.

ABOUT ME

When I ask my best friend to say things about me he usually responds "Who the hell are you and why are you following me?" but he's just shy and it's probably an excuse... The rest of my friends also love me and if I asked them about me they would probably say something like "You again? Why aren't you complying with the restraining order?". I love my friends! :)

PHILOSOPHY

When my life comes to an end I will only be happy if, by then, I met everyone, knew everything there was to know, visited every place on earth and had all the experiences it was possible or impossible to have had.
Simple and modest goals...

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

The Grand Canyon in Arizona... Nothing else had made me feel so insignificant in my life before.
The year I spent studying abroad... I was awestruck the whole time just by meeting new people from all over the world. That's what I'm seeking through Couchsurfing... To meet new people with different experiences and other ways of thinking.
After these 2 experiences, Africa happened and then yes, I finally felt as insignificant as I never thought I would feel.
