Hey, its me! A good minded, bearded tall guy in his mid-twenties.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

After school I went to study abroad to Vienna, where I have spend the last five years of my life. It has been a great experience, opening my eyes in many respects. But I have had enough of Schnitzels and 🌭. In Spanish there is a saying that goes "you have to leave/go abroad, to come back home". It is time for me to move on. To change airs. And I am planning my next step. Meanwhile I have three months to travel. To enjoy the summer sun. To see new places, inquire strange cultures, and to meet new people. That is the main reason why I am on couchsurfing. It is not my goal to put push pins on the map and collect a large list of the places I have been. I want to meet and come to know the people of the places I visit. I want to see how the live and spend their lives. I want to know what they think, in what they believe in. I want to hear the story you have to tell. Maybe you have more to teach me, than what I can share with you. We can have some beers and share some laughts. You can show me your artwork, we can grap breakfast, climb a mounting. I can help you with that thing you were looking for help. Or we can just talk a little bit before you leave for work. It doesn't matter. And when the days become shorter again and the sun loses its warmth, return home with many stories and maybe my heart will be more calm.

The plan is the following:

- Fligh to Barcelona for a festival
- Spend some time there
- Visit some friends in Lleida

Then it will get a little bit more international:

- I plan visiting Iran
- I will travel to India
-And spend the last weeks in Tapei
-》Did not happen. Instead I ended up in Lebanon 🌊

Intereses

Goals:

- Publish my own poems.

- Learn to sew a dresshort.

- Master Python. Haven't even finish code academy. I am being weak on this one :-)

- I want to learn to play Spanish guitar, as music has been so important during this trip wherever I went and it wouldn't have been the same without it.

- I believe in the necessity of scientific research for a more informed and evidence based policy discussion.

Algo increíble que he hecho

No bungee jumping, no skydiving, no jumping naked from a helicopter: the first time I kissed a girl on her cheek. That was real excitement ❤
--》Update for Iranians: This is supposed to be a cute joke as one usually does this with 6 or 7 😉

I have seen too many of this guys --》🦈

Once we got invited to share with a family the food they had consecrated in the temple we also had just visited. And we have this very long conversation about Buddhism and how to keep controll over one's mind... and suddenly, after an hour conversation on religion and being a good person, the husband changes topic and starts to show us sculptures he carves out of MAMMUT, lion, tiger, etc for a living. Some Canadians send him the matirial and tell him what to carve. But he has to be descrete because of some politics he doesn't fully understand -he says.

Another time we spend a long weekend in the middle of the winter in this beutiful old house in the alps -very idyllic with the snow, the mountains, the fireplaces- where we meet this other guest. Her name was Henriette: an elegant older women in her 80s, former prof of german studies, who inmigrated as young women to the US. We spend hours and hours during that days listening to her great stories about her past loves and intrigues in academia. And to avoid that her grown up daughter drunk too much schnapps, she drunk it her self. A weekend out of a novel. A character who escaped somehow The Magic Mountain.

There is a group of islands somewhere lost in Papua, I hope tourist never find, which colors and voices evoce in me feelings of longing and nostalgia as no other place has ever done.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

#Sharing: If you come to our home, I want that you feel comfortable. We like to prepare a larg breakfast in the morning and have a longer chat. You can spend the day doing turisty things and in the evening we can go for a beer, una tapa, meet some friends. Very uncomplicated and you will be treated the same as an old friend. We want and you should enjoy your trip and there are any expectations on you, you have to fulfill.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

A pair of strong hands if there is some work you need help with. We can practice German or Spanish. My Pho is said to be fabulous👌🏼. And a very open attitude.
