About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Study, study, study, study, study, study, study ...

ABOUT ME

Openminded traveler. Sometimes life takes me high above, sometimes I feel like beeing "on the avenue of broken dreams and emptiness".

PHILOSOPHY

Dont think in categories and from time to time try to change your perspective on life, the universe and everything completely.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offering my home and the home of my parents as they go on holidays. When anybody has any questions about Switzerland, just drop them.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted a guy from Berlin which was loads of fun! He cooked nice Persian Dinner for me and I went to visit him and his crazy flat-mate in "der Hauptstadt" (Berlin).

Interests

Surfing the web and finding answers to life, the universe and everything, swimming at lake of Zürich, filming and making video-clips, playing chess, playing poker, trying to win some money on stock markets (I failed but I went working and got my money back "the hard way" :-)!!), traveling (of course), thinking about my life (not getting to answers but I'm still young!!), in Winter: Snowboarding (of course)
