CURRENT MISSION

Living the saying: A stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet!

ABOUT ME

Since December 2009, I live in Frankfurt - now together with my girlfriend and our little boy. I am working with the GIZ, a company that is carrying out all kind of development projects all over the world (mostly for the German government).
If I'm not at work or spending time with my son, I like meeting up with friends or doing sports. I am an active person, who is interested in pretty much everything. I would consider myself communicative and I really like to get to know all different kind of people. Well, I think that probably counts for pretty much every Couchsurfer... ;)
Well, for everything else, just meet me - I hate these personal descriptions, sorry. ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Stell Dir vor es ist Krieg - und keiner geht hin! (Imagine it´s war - and no one goes (there)!)

Jeder ist Ausländer - fast überall!
(Evryone is a stranger - almost everywhere!)
(Let´s try to turn this around as much as we can.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
