About Me

I recently got back home from a 2 year long world travel.
For the moment hosting is possible only in emergency situations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to travel a lot and couchsurfing very often opened the door to a new city or a country. I enjoy participating in everything that is involved in couchsurfing and hope to be able to host the same way that I have been hosted all around the globe.

Interests

I am interested in world politics and diplomacy, but I am neither a politician, nor an activist. I love cheese and other good food in general. I play guitar and percussion instruments and I like singing and jamming with whoever is around.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like many kinds of music, mostly rock and electronic music. Latin America has had some (negative?) influence on my taste, but apart from that I listen to stuff from all over the world.

One of my favorite books is >The Time Seller< from Trias de Bes, which shows the absurd consequences and negative sides of our system. Recently I started reading different sorts of graphic novels / comics, mostly the french ones.

And I like movies that make you rethink things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Renting a pick-up-truck from a construction company and driving it through 5 rivers in 1 day.

Walking through Ashgabat.

Getting robbed twice in less than 1 hour.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can try to teach you German, English and Spanish and am happy to learn your language or dialect. Same with guitar, ukulele and all kinds of drums and percussion.
