About Me

CURRENT MISSION

It is better to light a fire than to curse darkness!

ABOUT ME

Where shall I start??
Some friends told me that they met me as a very distanced person, but I think that's self-protection. :-) If I let friends come close to me I will never let them go... I am curios, a little bit crazy (my sons can tell you more...), I have many different interests, I love to live my life!

PHILOSOPHY

Stay curious and enjoy life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Good friends of mine told me about CS. But it took it's time to fill out my profile, but now: I finally did it!! And here I am.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not for my own, but friends told me, it is great!! :-)

Interests

meet friends and talk about "god and the world", listen to music (jazz, blues, rock, funk, RnB...), cinema, cultural events (many different offered in Vienna), biking (I have an old Vespa and a BMW F650), being in the nature, little bit of sports (jogging and badminton) ... I am not bored at all!

Music, Movies, and Books

there are too many good books, movies or music, but for examples (at the moment...):
books: sorry, but there are too many! maybe I should betray authors I love: Marlen Haushofer, Robert Menasse, Matt Ruff, T.C. Boyle, John Irving (the old books!), Hermann Hesse, Stefan Zweig, Franz Kafka, Mario Vargas Llosa, Antonio Lobo Antunes, ... oh I am sure, I forgot many of them...
movie: Big Lebowski, being John Malkovich, Caramel
music: my itunes library is about 10000 titles...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a lot of things (good and bad) in my life. But much more important for me is the view into the future: I have so many dreams that I want to realize, for example: learn to play an instrument, buy a house in Vienna or nearby where I can live with my friends, travelling for months around the world, ...
