ABOUT ME

consistent, helpful, warmhearted, spontaneous, crazy, not afraid, brave, interesting, not boring

PHILOSOPHY

if i am really old one day i wanna be able to say: "yes i know". for now i am still on my way to reach that aim. and same as that, if one day the gods will ask me: "what have you done?" i don't want to stand in front of them with no possibility to answer, no! i want to answer deep from the bottom of my heart: "i done all what i could do with my whole power as human being."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just heard from a friend and joined because I wanna travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experiences are not really good with this platform. For me the idea was always to just have contact to locals or people who are familier with the region someone wants to travel to. But my reality shows a different approach for some people: I hosted people they just looking for a cheep stay and they are misusing my kindness and open character without respecting my borders and taking a part of the life we share for those moments staying under one roof.

In case of traveling I have to say that I tried several times to search for a host in Singapore and it failed always. Some hosts offered the place and canceled it short noted. In the end I have to find a hotel, which i actually don't like.
But ya I am still here and like to host, but ya, if you are just up to a cheep place to stay, don't ask for my couch, just ask me for help to find a cheep hotel. Thanks

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed "Adams Peak" twice already. I was at amazing places like Mount "Bromo", "Tangkupan Perahu" in Indonesia, "Haleakala" in Hawai, "Mount Yasur" in Tanna Vanuatu. I was standing at the Pitch Lake of Trinadad and Tobago. I was taking a shower under amazing waterfalls like Sipiso Piso of Danau Toba and and and. But the most amazing moments in my life have been when very traditional ethnic people around the globe offered me their houses to stay with them to share their lives for some time, in Vanuatu, Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, Africa, South America just to mention some places. The most amazing people for me are the Nivanuatu, the most interesting culture is the Indonesian. I survived in Paris, Monrovia and Jakarta.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to meet interesting people they have to offer live styles different from mine. I like to share experiences and knowledge about culture and tradition.
