About Me

CURRENT MISSION

--PROFILE UPDATED 31.10.2015-- The world is full of friendly people - unfortually, we concentrate on the other ones, and generalize our experience.

ABOUT ME

I was born in Germany, married in 2006 to Irena from Slovenia, and moved according to her wish to Slovenia in 2007. I think we made ourself a very nice home in Slovenia. However, we felt again the need to move, so in August 2015 we moved to the pretty Copenhagen in Denmark.

With my wife we are happy parents of four children, so there is plenty action and challenges in our lives.

We are open, love dance and music, long walks and a peaceful athmosphere.

I was working in a public pharmacy for 4 years, in the hospital for 4 years, and in a generic pharmaceutical company for many years.

PHILOSOPHY

There is no need for fighting. Never. Communication will show all possible solutions, which are suitable for all parties.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I have smaller children at home, I am (at the moment) not interested in travelling somewhere - this would mean too much trouble. So I participate in couchsurfing primarily being a host.
The idea behind this is to make the world a lovelier place and to offer everybody with a small budget to see the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experience with Couchsurfing is very good, I have no negative experience. If surfers bring their instruments, or cook their local food, it is the biggest pleasure for me.
We had guitar-players from Mexico, we had a unique and phantastic dancer from US, and a very good cook from - I forgot...

Interests

I think everything somebody is doing deserves our interest. Live is too short to be ignorant.
My personal interest is my family, and each and every spare minute I invest in this project.
But I confess my heart still beats for sailing, which I was instructing for a decade. I am also a very ambicious semi-pro photographer.

However, there was recently not much time to read.
