About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make the world a better place by making it easier for everybody to live in it

ABOUT ME

A nice friendy guy with a good heart, but sometimes a little overwhelmed by the wealth of information life has to offer.
I like to meet all kinds of new people whenever i can. I like to show people around in my city - though it's not the prettiest there is - but there a some very nice spots!
AND: We do have two breweries with good beer, one has a
"beer-tower" (http://www.mondobirra.org/sfondi/giessener_Brauhaus.jpg)

Also I'm quite handy with any type of computer, so I might help you fixing any kind of problems with your computer. ;)

PHILOSOPHY

I'm trying to make things (tools, furniture, houses, everything) better by making them simpler and easier to use. Sometimes I have to reinvent the wheel, but so be it! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The world is big and I haven't even seen half of Europe. I never left the continent and that's something I want to change!!
I study linguistics and I want to learn as many languages and varieties as possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed in Norway two times with CS. It was a great experience and I'd love to go there again some day or meet our two very nice hosts at another place again!

Interests

Travelling...of course! ;)
Cooking (..and eating of course!)
Watching movies, series and talking about it.
Learning languages (First you learn how to say "Where is the toilet?", then "I love you!" and then everybody teaches you swearwords... ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The best view I expected was at the North Cape at midnight in the summer, but everything I saw was fog... :/
So I have to say the Fjords in Norway where the most impressive thing I have seen (so far)! Not the worst second choice ;)
