About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world, to meet new people

ABOUT ME

I'm generally a friendly, open minded, guy who loves to laugh and have a drink. Always willing to meet new people and always ready to explore new horizons.

PHILOSOPHY

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Showing people around, giving them a warm place to stay.

Interests

Music:
Open to all kinds of music although my absolute favourite genre would be post-rock.
(Explosions in the Sky, Mono, 65daysofstatic, etc)

I also used to play Drums and would very much like to learn to play guitar one day!

Photography:
I have my own camera, Nikon D200 & I'm mainly into taking pictures when travelling. After all, pictures are memories and memories are golden.

Travel:
One of the best things in life for sure is to interact with people from all across the globe. Always up for a trip abroad. Also into the hitch-hiking adventure!

World Politics and similar topics:
Also the reason why I studied Political Science - International Politics at uni. I love talking/philosophising about European/American/Russian/whatever politics, history, economy, etc. Preferably while enjoying a good beer of course!
