About Me

CURRENT MISSION

causing confusion worldwide

ABOUT ME

I am an openminded person interested in people who want to share their time with me, discuss about the world and drink one or one more or another more and one more beer with me.

I love to document what me surrounds. Since five years I take Photos and started now with some projects travelling and will make my first exhibition this summer. My next goal will be making films - sometimes there is a just need of more dimensions.

Whenever it's possible I like to go riding my mountainbike. Unfortunetly there is not enough time for it but I try to handle my addiction.

Actually I study Political Science but just science is not what lets me feel contend. Always there is something deeper which I cannot grap in theories or at least not in political ones.

I am a person who tries to do what I do with all the power I have. What's around you, you should love - with the feeling that you can't do anything else. I don't like to do things by halves.
I become a very urban and fashion addicted guy staying in a big city just like I love to hike for two weeks alone in the mountains.

PHILOSOPHY

"The world is just an illusion caused by a lack of alcohol" Charles Bukowsky

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to be here. And I like to cook and drink for everybody.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been to the CS Group of Salvador a several times and always liked to get in touch with them. I travelled with them while the Sao Joao days and we had a great time together dancing and daffing.

Interests

Poeople, arts, music, food and cooking, politics, mountainbiking, photography, literature, surfing, philosophy, environment, hiking, sustainability, skiing, cinemas and museums. And red wine.

My former question which is most important for me are Aesthetics. Is there a deeper structure in all that what we like? Is there a pattern in arts or is it all a construct?
What are the rules of where we like to be and where not?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled with 1580 melons on a boat and the captain fall asleep and almost killed us.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really love to learn from everybody who is into something. That does not have to mean somebody does something well. But the one has to love what she or he does. And then its originally well done.
