Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Trying to host, but still getting settled here. Always happy to meet fellow Couchsurfers for a drink, chat or walk. Hope I can take some time to do more again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Was hosted and hosted all over the world. It was just great, allover extremely positive. My life would not be the same without CS :P...

Interests

I like and love to travel, read, go out, hear good music, take a nice and hot bath, have conversations without any taboos or prejudices, have a local drink alone in a dark bar, trying to understand ZEN, riding my motorbike, and some more )...

beside that I like doing sports (diving, paragliding, ski and snowboarding, running, swimming, golf, tennis, sauna and so on...) Huh :O, too many and always changing...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being at Burning Man with my friends and my brother, Skydiving in Switzerland, being in a Venezuelan Prison, being amazed by Petra in Jordan and getting bored at the Taj Mahal, working all around the World, feeling old at the Golden Temple in Kyoto, risking Oxygen poisoning to see the Moonfish...

Teach, Learn, Share

Ha ha, I could teach you Bernese- German, which is very useful and will be number one in the world sooner or later :P. I am also a Dive Instructor, pretty good with Motorbikes (started when I was 5), snowboarding, and most importantly FIRE BLOWING :)...
