Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
The last 2 years, as everybody knows, were really difficult to travel, but I had the time to built up a lovely, wonderful & magical garden here in Germany, at Koenigslutter, so you are welcome here as well ! There is at least a place to sleep an stay in the garden-house now ! But it is time to move on again , so the next weeks or months I am travelling again, so I can't host at the moment guests at Berlin ( my former main place to stay ), or Koenigslutter (The old parents house, Lower Saxonia) . The next months , probably until end of summer 2022 I am on and off the road again and have to ramble on ! Hope to host You All one day again.. here at Germany or somewhere else... For any further verification, concerning my person, please look at the Photos !
So please never forget to enjoy your life, but don't bother anybody else.
ABOUT ME
I am Tom from Berlin. I studied in Berlin at the Free University Biochemistry and Philosophy, and worked at the Weizmann Institute and Max Planck Institute at the Immunology Department. After being tired of spending the whole life in the laboratory I quit this job, and studied graphic design and photography and worked in both subjects. Now I quit my jobs again in Germany to realize and continue my dream... working freelance on tour and traveling again fornearly 1 year. I am very interested in meeting people from all over the world and like to learn, experience and to know different cultures and kitchens, stories, impressions an new things. So couch surfing is a great opportunity to realize this. Cu soon:-)
PHILOSOPHY
Don't dream your life, but live your dream ! enjoy your life and don't bother others ! and help others to enjoy and live their lifes happy and successfully as well !
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCH SURFING
At the moment I am back on the road and in travelmodus again and are looking for hosts only and unfortunately can not offer any place and space to stay. But when I am back to Spain, Andalusia, Orgiva (my 2.nd place to stay) or at Königslutter near Braunschweig in Lower Saxonia (3rd .place to stay) or I am finally one day back in Berlin, I will offer all the time space to stay. And there will be soon a next place in between Leipzig / Halle / Bitterfeld !
So how did we / i and myself come to couchsurfing ?! I could convince my former girlfriend finally a few years ago in Japan to try couchsurfing and than succesfully with our first incredible good "couchsurf-experience" in Hongkong, she was totally enthusiastic an positively surprised ! But I (or in former time "we" ) yes, so before we used the "official" online couch surfing platform, we were already since years hosting guests from all over the world in private ! many people we met or even their friends, family, children came and stayed at our place and still do so, even at my parents place and even when i was absent !
At the moment my apartment is still used by friends and the children of former school and university friends, . They intend to come to Berlin in the near future, and need now some help, space and orientation.. so unfortunately at the moment the rooms are constantly in use and I am abroad ! Aditionally in the other places it is only possible to host guests if i am personally there, so at the moment... very, very sorry folks, next year I will probably settle down a bit again ! and love to host everyone !
COUCH SURFING EXPERIENCE
We met great people all over Asia with fantastic hospitality
We have only very positive experiences with couch surfing yet. We met great hosts and will participate on couch surfing further for sure.
Interests
I am interested in science, nature, hiking, philosophy , people, new impressions, fun and traveling and love to practice photography, this as well underwater. I am since years engaged and work and play in the wide field of graphical art, paintings, illustrations, drawing, graphical design, webdesign and picture editing, fotography and editional the last years in film props, setdressing, interior and exterior fittings, décor, scenes supply , art paintings and patination.
I like to cook and enjoy tasty, extraordanary, exquisite slow food with a delicious glass of wine, but still love the easy good way of food as well, and hate to spoil any food, or anything else. We ( ore better now me..) if we are at Berlin spent and are spending many efforts to invite guests and to serve fantastic and delicious food (and I can surprise even my hosts at couch surfing, and I often did so !), we often have many friends at home and celebrate fantastic dinner events, evenings and partys !
I love to travel all over the world, i really have to ramble on ! Life is too short to sit at home and only for work !Meeting other cultures and people from all over the world makes me happy. snorkeling, diving, making films and taking fantastic photos...
