I am living a location-independent live with my two professions as a software developer and musician. However, these days I am mostly based in Kuala Lumpur/Malaysia where I run a development shop and perform with my two gypsy jazz bands (Zinedine Tsigane and Douche Manouche). During my free-time I love to explore the south-east Asian neighbouring countries together with my friends. Every summer and for Christmas I'm going back to Germany for a couple of months, where I am mostly based in Berlin.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I think that through Couchsurfing you get a different perspective of the places you visit since you meet people who are actually living there. It's great to get to know a place through the host's eyes and maybe even be integrated their daily grind and meet with their friends as well.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Travel as a musician in south-east Asia
My Interests
Software development, Jazz music (especially gypsy jazz), playing guitar and saxophone (and trying any other instrument that I will get into my hand). I love food that much, that I think that I spend most of my money on fancy restaurants. And I love cooking myself as well.
