CURRENT MISSION

Coming to terms with life as a full-time working software engineer! Whenever I have a free minute I just have to climb up something... rocks. Climbing gyms. Whatever. Probably my 'current mission' is about having no mission at all, I'm pretty much revolving about myself at the moment, sorry about that ^^.
Sometimes though, when I relax a minute, I try and listen to the tales of life instead of just hearing them. Music and the way people walk and... At the end of the day: write them down. Those stories of existence. The longest thread running through all my life is writing.

ABOUT ME

I'm a creative person, but my creativeness is somewhat fluid and not at all times easy to recognize as such, in particular I frequently re-work my life. I read and I write myself: poetry, short-stories and since I've studied comparative literature, I read and write about other people's texts a lot, as well. There is always something going on in my live, I frequently get involved into projects, I've organized a congress, participated in online-literature-projects, gathered people for climbing holidays, parties or nightly headstands, held a course at university.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's what life is all about: from the second I was born, life was about meeting the other, each other, meeting other things and thoughts.
Because people are nice.
Because I had great experiences couchsurfing myself.
Because I have a little space that I can share, too.

And then there is something peculiarly beautiful about homes: they are nice and friendly places. They should be evereywhere... in fact, they are :D
