About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find my mission!

ABOUT ME

Wether that is how I really am or just how people perceive me I don't really know, but I usually come over as positive, open mindet, handsome and failing to remember names ;-) you might meet me when I am talkative or when I am rather quiet.
I am generally thinking a lot - but i try keeping it down a bit on this trip ;) , so i don't write about my fable for philosophies etc. here, because on this trip I want to meet as many cool and interesting people and places as possible, experience the certainly very different cultures of NZ, AUS and Japan and get some worldview.

PHILOSOPHY

Seneca said: "If you don't know the harbor to go to, no wind is convenient." I say "If you don't know the harbor to go to, trust the winds to lead you."

A basic of my philosophy is that I create my own reallity and choose whoever I want to be and how i percieve others at every moment again. The difficulty is truly mastering that choice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just finished school in Germany, heard about CS recently and want to try it a bit now.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience with CS is Brian in Willington - a really nice guy who kinda made me try CS by mailing me when i updated my profile.

Interests

I am normally the science kind of guy - want to study engeneering physics when I come back from my trip.
My hobbys used to be majorly judo, modelcraft and pc games but all of those are not really practicable while traveling. So now I spend my free time learning japanese or organising my travels or of course - just hanging out with all the awesome people I meet.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you dont know wich harbor to aim for, you need to trust the wind of fate to lead you to your destination.

There is no passion to be found playing small-in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

I am learning to create myself the way I want to be - thats why I want to meet interesting people and of course that is what other people can Learn from me.
