CURRENT MISSION

To learn to identify more with my wishes for the future and to get some lucid distance to the struggle that shaped my personality. To regain my appreciation about how valuable time is, and to try to be aware of myself, and when only for a second, what ever I'm doin

ABOUT ME

I'm a sneaking once kinda eccentric and extroverted hiphop-socialized anarchist, searching for an apprenticeship as shoemaker (with the vision that some day I'll be able to repair any kind of shoes - even cheap manufactured ones where you only pay for the brand - but also able to make handcrafted made to measure shoes of fairtraded high quality natural materials, with designs inspired by patterns of classic and vintage models as well as modern sneakers like nike air, adidas, new balance or onitsuka tiger - durable, not cheap but affordable). I also produce some music with fruityloops (https://soundcloud.com/beatjunge/donnervogel-dub-tech) and draw, paint, plasticize and play ultimate frisbee.

PHILOSOPHY

You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created.

The dose makes the poison - agression is vital energy, and when you never let it out, 'cause you feel ashamed about it or whatever, it bottles up, becomes psychosomatic, goes against yourself and you loose lots of your power, which then is missing during your workaday life. Conflicts are ideally like a purifying showery storm. It's important to learn to be the sluice keeper and to let out some pressure now and then so that there is no risk of a big bang.

Wishes, dreams and utopias are important: to get images that make you feel free - and when you reach the freedom through your imagination you're able to get your focus on similar situations in reality as well and be sure you'll find them - now your freedom becomes more and more real. Form follows function..

And timing! - is the answer to success.

Differences are important, but species should be equal - 'cause diversity is precious. And not only valuable in an economic sense.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to meet some interessting and open minded casual people and to get connected to the places where I go. Sharing is the economy of the future, so I host and surf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Two years ago I was couchsurfing but for the first time without Internet. Only slept on couches or shared a bed of people that I did meet on the street by day before.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

By day, when it was full of people, I tagged the entire window surfaces inside a train (with a graffiti marker filled with cream-turquoise colored, water-soluble wall paint). Before I left the train I took a wet rag and removed everything, so it wasn't an act of vandalism but an experiment to spring the passersby from their boring daily grind and to research their behavior and civil courage.

Teach, Learn, Share

I share my room, my food, if there's something in the fridge and some stories, and I'd like to listen. We could cook together or make some music - moreover I would introduce you to some of my friends maybe and show you some cool spots in the city if I find the time.

Countries I’ve Visited

Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Italy, Poland, Spain
