ABOUT ME

Hmm,... I am open minded, I like meeting new people and I want to participate in making our world a better place :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Hoffnung ist nicht die Überzeugung dass etwas gut ausgeht, sondern die Gewissheit dass etwas Sinn macht, egal wie es ausgeht! (Vaclav Havel)

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans... (J.Lennon)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I want more of it!

Interests

I love travelling and staying in different countries. It is just so much fun plus I think it is a key for a more peaceful world through a better understanding of different cultures and lifestyles. Being a stranger myself in foreign countries gives me a much better understanding of strangers in my country.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got a cultural shock when I crossed the border from Pakistan to India last year. Suddenly things seemed to be so western. I did not expect to get a "western-cultural-shock" in India and found out once again: It all depends on the angle of view.
