About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just an ordinary guy trying to fill his life with purpose.

ABOUT ME

Versión en Español a continuación
--------------------------------------------------------

The little things in life make me happy:
City lights flickering at night from far, bike rides during a warm summer night, coffee smell in the morning, a weekend ahead with no particular commitments, things with no initial expectations.

Dear Surfers,
Please note that I will only respond to those who have taken the time to read my profile. :)

I am driven to stick my nose in everything and anything that’s fun for me or feels like it supports me in finding my own truth.
Travelling has always been a big part of this, thanks to my parents who carried me around the globe since I was born. They taught me how to make myself comfortable in this world, something that I find myself practicing over and over and over and over again.

I grew up in Cologne, Germany a 2000 years old Roman city, with it’s own language, character and spirit that is known for opening its arms to everyone who is curious to find out about it, no matter who you are, if you are just stopping by, just moved there, or lived in Cologne forever. The typical Cologne boy or girl loves chatting with anybody in the streets about anything that might or might not be of major importance… there is always something to prattle about!
Projects and deadlines are a major issue and obstacle to life for Cologne folks as they pursue a dissolute lifestyle and they take any chance to find a reason to live it out; it all climaxes at the annual “Karneval” (Carnival), when the city turns itself into a debauchery starring jolly, costumed and buzzed (sometimes a bit more than that) human beings.

If you want me to consider your request please 1. Give me summary of your life purpose 2. (you’ll have to read my profile to find question 2!)
3. Have at least 1 reference
I will not respond to messages that don’t include what I have asked for above.

ESPAÑOL

Las pequeñas cosas de la vida me hacen feliz:
Las luces de la ciudad parpadean de lejos por la noche, paseos en bicicleta durante una cálida noche de verano, olor a café por la mañana, un fin de semana por delante sin compromisos particulares, cosas sin expectativas iniciales.

Mis querido Couchsurfers
Tenga en cuenta que solo responderé a aquellos que se hayan tomado el tiempo de leer mi perfil. :)

Me siento impulsado a meter la nariz en todo lo que sea divertido para mí o que sienta que me ayuda a encontrar mi propia verdad.
Viajar siempre ha sido una gran parte de esto, gracias a mis padres que me llevaron por todo el mundo desde que nací. Me enseñaron cómo sentirme cómodo en este mundo, algo que practico una y otra vez.

Crecí en Colonia, Alemania, una ciudad romana de 2000 años de antigüedad, con su propio idioma, carácter y espíritu que se caracteriza por abrir los brazos a todo aquel que tenga curiosidad por conocerla, sin importar quién seas, si solo eres pasó por aquí, se acaba de mudar allí o vivió en Colonia para siempre. Al típico niño o niña de Colonia le encanta charlar con cualquiera en la calle sobre cualquier tema que pueda o no ser importante... ¡siempre hay algo de qué charlar!
Los proyectos y los plazos son un problema importante y un obstáculo en la vida de los habitantes de Colonia, que llevan un estilo de vida disoluto y aprovechan cualquier oportunidad para encontrar una razón para vivirlo; Todo culmina en el “Karneval” (Carnaval) anual, cuando la ciudad se convierte en un libertinaje protagonizado por seres humanos alegres, disfrazados y animados (a veces un poco más que eso).

Si quieres que considere tu solicitud, por favor 1. Dame un resumen de tu propósito de vida 2. (¡tendrás que leer mi perfil para encontrar la pregunta 2!)
3. Tener al menos 1 referencia
No responderé a mensajes que no incluyan lo que pedí anteriormente.
