CURRENT MISSION

finding coffee, food and inner harmony

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and I do get withdrawal as soon as I have to stay at one place uninterrupted for more than a couple of months.

I tend to lead strange friendships (I usually call them interesting)and I attribute all of my not inconsiderable weirdness to the fact that both of my parents are psychologists - but no worries, I am pretty normal compared to the other Berliners.

I firmly believe that Berlin is THE greatest city to live in and that, after I have seen EVERYTHING and saved the world, I will eventually stay here for good.

I am a vegetarian, but I usually restrain myself and behave civil when there a meat-eating people around.

I am a member of a political organization and I would describe myself as left-wing. I don't hit people over the head or mix molotov-cocktail in the basement, though. And I am open to discuss my beliefs with anyone who takes an interest.

PHILOSOPHY

It is what it is and everything that should be, will be. A bit simplicistic, but it works for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Though I do not have a couch at the moment, I would love to meet up with people who come to Berlin to show them around and explain to them why they should move here. Coffee would be great, too.

I think that couchsurfing is a great way of forming connections, getting to know other cultures and to invite far-away places into your kitchen. As soon as I have control over my living environment, I will start hosting.
