About Me

ABOUT ME

I love to have always something new to experiance and try out (nearly) everything that happens to cross my path.

PHILOSOPHY

carpe diem - nutze den Tag
Be aware that live is short and every day counts. Use every chance you can get and make the best of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurf whenever I travel and have an available couch when ever possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I lived in India for 15 month in 2009/2010 and during my travels I surfed many couches, met people and had often an amazing time with them. Since then I have hat many great experiances with people I met through CS. I have encountered a lot of hospitability, honesty and trust.

Interests

ultimate frisbee, wine, jugling, swing dance (just started), food, running, swiming, philosophizing about the small things in life, more wine . . . .

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
simon and garfuncle
buena vista socialclub
good ska, electro and dub when I am in the mood for it . . .
Book:
God of small things (Arundhati Roy)
Ravan and Eddie (Kiran Nagarkar)
Narziss und Goldmund (Herman Hesse)
A fine balance (Rohinton Mistry)
Movies:
like to have a good portion of Bollywood now and than (Favourtites are Taare Zameen Par, 3 Idiots and Dangal) Even if you wouldn't believe me but Bollywood can be very critical and wounderful cheesy at the same time!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

standing somewhere in the Himalaya by night. Such a wonderful sky I have never seen before. The stars where so amazingly bright it seemed like a big roof on top of the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I do a bit of juggling. With balls, maces (if that's the right translation for "Jonglierkeulen"), rings, pois . . So if you are interesed, have time for a coulpe of hours in a park and you are a patient character we could give it a try!
Other then that I love to cook, have hungry guest and people who can broaden my culinary horizon.
