About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Survive the winter in Berlin, find more places to see next year!

ABOUT ME

I wouldn´t judge others by a few lines of text but here are some facts...
After travelling a bit, I now live and work in Berlin, enjoying the city, having guests and travelling when there is time.

PHILOSOPHY

there is always more than one perspective. use your brain, be tolerant, help if you can. now go and have fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the idea of CS, and already met lots of interesting people while CS-ing in Thailand and Vietnam. One of the best experiences in my life, I guess...

After my trip I decided I want to give something back to the couchsurfers out there! That was some years ago. Now that I settled in Berlin, which I love for its internationality, I would love to meet some CS-ers again!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Did some Couchsurfing in Bangkok and HTMC/Saigon, Vietnam, and had a great time! Lots of thing I would not have seen otherwise!

Interests

music, guitar, outdoors, arts & design, programming, history, world news/general politics, (good) food, travelling...

Music, Movies, and Books

Music, nature and travelling never stop to amaze me...
Trekking in Finland, 1 week motorbike tour through Laos, CS in Vietnam, the temple ruins of Mrauk-U in Myanmar, some great concerts... just to name few.
