About Me

Hey Fallows,

What to say..

Well, I'm really not a friend of selling myself to an audience in order to get any kind of attention or benefits. At least not digitally and especially not for likes or comments. This is why you might find for example just a few older and less newer photos from various situation of my life in my profile.

Yet, I like to meet real hard-cover, analogue people and discover the different perspectives they have on life, existence, reality and all that stuff. Therefore, I dance with life: I travel, work here and there, discover new places, and learn new skills. I try to soak it all in and learn continuously.

For that reason I moved to Toulouse in France after I finished my studies of social work in Berlin. I stayed there for 3 years or so and traveled during that time to various places in Europe and also to California, India and Thailand.

Later on, I stayed for one year in the international township project of Auroville in southern India, from which I recantly came back to Germany.

Now I'm planing to study a masters degree starting in march.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting you means to me meeting an entire universe which I would like to discover while chatting, laughing dancing and playing.

In short real human connection and exchange this is what I'm longing for.

Music, Movies, and Books

I highly recommand this movie to everybody, who likes to learn and figure out what live might be about:

"Waking Life"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Existence...

"Oh wow what a creative answer." you might think now.

But honestly, life is so full of amazing and interesting things and If we think about it the simple fact that we can experience existence is incredibly awesome.

Still not convinced?

Ok try this: "I truly loved someone and experienced being loved by that person as well."

Ok ok I see. If your are still reading I suppose that you want to be entertained. No pseudo-deep talk about love and existence, right?

So what's about that:

Once I travelled from Berlin to Toulouse on a bicycle. I had beautiful days and met nice people but I had as well hard times and challenging moments. I crossed storms and mountains and followed rivers through beautiful valleys. When I arrived finally at the Mediterranean Sea I could look far over the deep blue water and a long the the beautiful shaped coastline which is curved from where I stood towards the south like you can see it on the map. Standing there I realized that it was all me and my own strength, endurance as well as my will and imagination which brought me there. I felt truly empowered, calm and ready to face what ever surprise live would have for me.

I tasted freedom..

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's co-create beautiful, nice moments where ever the journey leads us.

I guess, I already expressed that I'm really motivated to share.

I hope to achieve the point in my life where all my interactions are driven by the following two questions: "What can I do for you? - and - What can I learn from you?
