CURRENT MISSION

to go with the flow without swimming with the stream...

ABOUT ME

My friends consider me a friendly open person which frankly speaks his mind. I'm quiet easy to handle and always open for a good conversation, philosophy, a good cup of coffee or a glass of wine... almost everything.
Lives to precious to waste on bad things.

PHILOSOPHY

"Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt. Sing like nobody's listening; live like it's heaven on earth."

"Ja,Ja..." sagte der alte Waldbär. "Ja,Ja..."
und da hatte er verdammt recht.

"Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
But where there are prophecies, they will cease;
where there are tongues, they will be stilled;
where there is knowledge, it will pass away."

"Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity;
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible.

ÃÃøØÅØøÃÂ

"Yesterday's history,
Tomorrow's a mystery
but today is a gift.
That's why it's called present."

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I (we) live in a shared apartment. One (out of two) of my flatmates is also on CS so, depending on sympathy, your chances are pretty high. But anyway we have to discuss it first so last-minute request are unlikely to be positively answered but nevertheless welcome

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some.
Before CS it was quiet common when you went to other places to meet people and stay at their places. And also in my hometown I met nice people travelling which stayed at my place. Later when I started travelling because of music and work, I figured it's always nicer and the chance to meet interesting people is given when you stay at privat places instead of in the anonymity of a boring hotel.

Intereses

I'm pretty much into everything regarding arts. Sculpting, drawing, painting, photography and music. I play drums and had a quiet musical education starting with flute, then violin, doublebass, piano... But besides drumming nothing really stuck. Started guitar, but mostly to "understand" what the other guys in the band are actually doin'.
I like sports as well. I worked some time (15 years) as a snowboard-/skiinstructor and since 2004 as a rafting guide. love biking and above all that surfing (waves, not couches). I also like getting involved in organizing sport/music events.
I really care for my environment, the people and nature.
I like good conversations which are more than casual smalltalk.
I Love animals.
So basically I just want to learn new things, different perspectives and try to grow as a human being.

Música, películas y libros

All kind of Movies. From Big Hollywood Blockbusters, which are only made for shallow entertainment, to independent and avantgarde. And Studio Ghibli

Music is a part of my life so I listen to almost everything. As long as it touches your heart, your mind or your body ("make this feet dance!")

Good books. Philosphy, Science Fiction, Biographies...
everything which is interesting to me or recommended by interesting people (which could be actually everybody)
one of my fovourites: "the Te of piglet"

Algo increíble que he hecho

I work every winter as a snowsculpturer on one of the highest mountains in the German Alps, the "Nebelhorn". And it's always nice to have a "afterwork" ride, descening 1200m, into the sunset or under a full moon.
I love nature, cities, people, animals... So basically everything I see and do in my life is pretty amazing to me and makes me embrace life everyday again...

Enseña, aprende, comparte

There is always somebody you can be tought by- and things you can teach others. So exchanging ideas of any kind is always welcome.
Widen your horizon!
