About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life ... with everything it can offer

ABOUT ME

ALL about me is too much for here. Here is the short version:

I am
- musician, optician, motorcyclist, skydiver, branch manager, brother, friend, son, uncle,

PHILOSOPHY

Sense of life is: Enjoy it. Question is: How to achieve that. I find satisfaction in talking with people about anything (mostly philosophically), making music, experience new stuff and getting forward in my life. I see a sense even in bad experiences, for they contribute to a brider and wider view for essentialities (wrote a song about that). I like studing the behaviour of the people around me. It reveals interesting connections about different kinds of personalities. One example is the way people hide behind a mask they put on every day. People hiding behind their pride (wrote a song about that, too).

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I´m just right at the beginning, but I´m taken with getting to know different people then these around me here.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first (and ´til now only) cs-experience was "extremely positive". Joe from L.A. visited me here for a couple of days and erased big parts of my scepticism against CS

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Parachuting in Germany, bungee-jumping in Canada, skiing in Switzerland with an undescribable fascinating view across snow-mountains (I´ll never forget this impression)

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I guess I could teach well playing guitar or piano, starcraft ;-), anything about "eye"-optics, so: I could teach anything allready listet in the "interests"-box

I´d like to learn: Hum, dunno, anything I don´t know yet :-)

Share: Expiriences, knowledge, wisdom^^
