ABOUT ME

visited 31 states (13.7%)Create your own visited map of The World or Brazil travel guide for Android

...after seven years of working, I decided last year to start a sabbatical and now I am on a worltrip. During this time I hope to meet a lot of great people and see amazing places. I am interested in art and try to realize a photo-project during my travels.
Like everybody there are good and bad days in life. ...when the days are evil, I can be also in a very bad mood... but mostly, I can not be very angry. In school it is a big problem...all my students now this, and they are not really afraid of me as a teacher! :-)
I do not need to have party all night every day, but sometimes it must be... I enjoy a good talk with people at nice places or just be silent to enjoy a good view.
I like hiking and cycling. If it is possible I like to do diving. But I am just a beginner in Open Water dives.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to be honest and kind to everyone... at least: You never know...:-)

I like to eat and it would be a pleasure for me to cook for a good couch a nice german meal.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
