CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

friendly, happy, helpful

PHILOSOPHY

Feel at home everywhere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
One of my sons has done CS in Korea, Japan and New Zealand. His experiences were so excellent. So I copied him.

I can show you the beauty of Bavaria.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Though beeing very old I did CS in Vietnam, India, China, Oman, Dubai, France, Germany.

Interests

As I am a stone sculptor actually, I would like to organize exhibitions of my sculptures in Munich, Carrara, Dubai, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Orlando, Tokyo. May be, you can help me.
In November 2016 I opened my sculpture garden in Pähl-Aidenried. I would be happy if you want to have a look.
I am interested in travelling and working in the places, where the famous granites, marbles, porphyrs, quarzites come from. I would be happy and grateful if a lady could share my adventures. I plan to work in the historical quarries of old Egypt in Aswan and later in Brazil in Macaùbas, the famous blue banded quarzite Azul Macaùbas.
You can see my sculptures on www.steinbildhauerei-rip.de or on facebook: rip design in stein.
