CURRENT MISSION

Trying to get rid of the feeling that I only see a fraction of a pale blue dot in my short lifetime.

ABOUT ME

Open-minded.

I'm a humanist, and that's what being a human is all about. The rest is mere luxury, and I'm trying hard to keep my life simple.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind. Be responsible. Enjoy this planet. Leave nothing but footprints and beautiful memories. Or a world changed for the better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've had some great couchsurfing experiences in Iceland and hosted interesting people. I'm quite busy and miss a lot of requests, especially since I moved to Kassel. I wish I could participate more. Just give it a try, I might have time to host you.

Interests

Currently, my biggest interest is how to arrange my life in a way providing sufficient time and money to travel the whole world while staying close to my friends and family at the same time...

Besides, I study the less complex questions like to find the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.

My interests exceed my lifespan by far...

• traveling
• backpacking
• bungee jumping
• religion
• science
• climbing

Music, Movies, and Books

Into the Wild. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Little Prince. Paulo Coelho. Carl Sagan. Pearl Jam. Sportfreunde Stiller. Pink Floyd. Sigur Ros. Also read the whole Bible and parts of the Bhagavad Gita years ago.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked down the Grand Canyon halfways. Did a backpacking tour in Ireland. Another one in Scotland. 5 weeks in Morocco and 6 weeks in Thailand. 7 weeks of Iceland in high winter, 6 weeks in Nepal, where I did an amazing 160m bungee jump, 3.5 months in South America, including my highest summit so far, Huayna Potosi at 6088m. Fell in love in Japan.

Teach, Learn, Share

Dunno... I could teach how religion works. Or science. And why I think it's reasonable to rely on the latter.
