I'm a witty, talkative and passionately curious dude with German roots, Brazilian feet, a Scottish stomache, Irish tunes in his head, a French minset who is living, of course, in Paris.

Ah, yeah, right ... I'm a shrink, too. But don't worry, I can't read minds. Sorry.

I'm living in a small studio (26 squaremeters) in the French capital and I love my appartment. I can take in two guests (maximum). Since I am really much of a community guy (I have two 2 older brothers. - You can't survive if you don't share;), you will probably have a great time dwelling under my roof.

Keep me posted!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Storytelling ...... I love to hear new stories and I'm certainly willing to share some of mine.
(That's something you can't just buy at a hotel bar.)

Interests

- Dance (Contemporary dance, Capoeira, ....everything that moves my heart and feet).
- Art (of all kinds...)
- Running (on the street, through forests, over bridges, in the sand, at dawn, during the night, ...etc.)
- Biking (I just hate public transport)
- Languages
- Goooooooood conversations
- Playing music (Tin whistling whenever I can...)
- Reading mindblowing books (if I can get my hand on them....)
- Thinking/Meditating about the mind itself
