About Me

Currently travelling in my campervan around Turkey, travel buddies welcome!

Please mention the word "borscht" in your message so I know you've at least read up till here :)

ABOUT ME

I try to be myself and to be honest and compassionate to other people. My interests are many and new ones can quickly grow on me through inspiration from others. I enjoy thinking about the world and discussing ideas. Sincerely enjoy sharing happiness with others!

PHILOSOPHY

I see truth in humility, honesty, harmony, compassion and understanding. With these qualities a person can use the knowledge he has correctly.

"€œFor me the world is weird because it is stupendous, awesome, mysterious, unfathomable; my interest has been to convince you that you must assume responsibility for being here, in this marvelous world, in this marvelous desert, in this marvelous time. I want to convince you that you must learn to make every act count, since you are going to be here for only a short while, in fact, too short for witnessing all the marvels of it."€ - Don Juan

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Welcome travellers and make them feel at home with whatever I can provide with.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Throughout my university life I have crashed out at many peoples places. Company of good friends and a long journey home, made me practically spend half of my university life sleeping at other peoples couches. Why did I even pay the rent? I guess this makes me an experienced couchsurfer...

Interests

I play piano and guitar. Produce on PC.
I enjoy hiking and going camping into the wilderness where I can. Sounds of nature, a clear sky at night and a smell of a warm campfire brings peace and happiness to me.
