I consider myself a seeker and most people describe as quite unconventional. I seek for alternatives to our modern lifestyle, the limitations of my body and my comfort zone, philosophical answers and good wine ;-)
You can find me working as an engineer, taking literature classes, doing triathlon or just staring at the stars.
I stay content most easily when i get in touch with nature whether its hiking on trails of the Schwäbische Alb or cycling all over Europe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use travelling as a way to get to know the beautiful world I live in. That's why I love getting to know people as well and to get inspired by them. And I think everybody is inspiring in their own way! So being hosted and hosting myself is a great way to enrichen both my travels and everyday life.

Interests

Nature - No place I'd rather be...
Sports - Fresh air and getting my heartrate up
Reading - Helps me to relax and be inspired
Cooking - Both indoor and outdoor preparing healthy and nutritious meals
Music - If I had talent I would play an instrument myself but I was damned to just listening to good music ;-)
Discussions - Talking to somebody who doesn't agree with me gives me the opportunity to get a different perspective on things

Music - too many to name 3, but I enjoy classical music as well as pop and rock...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most wonderful experience I had was a trip from Hamburg to the polar circle and Lofoten on my bicycle without phone and money. No time constraints and never knowing where I would sleep and what I would find to eat meant absolute freedom to me. I was so amazed by both nature and people!
