About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Open a shisha bar in the Philippines...some time

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty open and easy to get along with person. Nobody ever has problems with me. I want to see, feel and experience things, be involved. I can be pretty shy and quiet when I meet people for the first time, but once I get to know people better and can connect with them and become more comfortable, I can be loud, fun and entertaining. When time and money allow, there is hardly any activity I would say no to, but every now and then I need time for myself or a relaxed environment.
Can't think of more right now though, and there is still so much more to fill out...so time to move on to the next question ;)

PHILOSOPHY

I haven't found the philosophy yet where I'd say, this is why or how I live. Just make the most out of it whatever it means to you personally.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have surfed and hosted a few times with really great people, what fun and experiences!

Interests

Music, dancing, going out, being outdoors (hiking, tennis, watersports, being on a board, biking), being indoors, travelling, seeing and experiencing things, being with my loved ones and friends, my cat. And I love astronomy...the size of the universe always gets to me. Lastly, FC Bayern München!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Having been a DJ I enjoy electronic music a lot, but leisurely listening to music I do enjoy music that involves actual instruments. If I'd have to name a few artists I'd say Chili peppers, Mumford&Sons, Laidback Luke, Deadmau5, Bloc Party, Coldplay. Soundtracks are awesome. As for movies I really enjoy going to the movies and I hope that movie theaters will stick around. Some movies that really stuck with me were Gladiator, Pulp Fiction, Inception, Into the Wild, Star Wars, Interstellar and 2001 Space Odyssey. And as for books, ever since a child I was fascinated with the Science Fiction genre and Karl May books. But lately I got really hooked on the "Game of Thrones" books and "The Maze Runner" series.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing and living among poor people in countries like the Philippines or Nigeria dancing on the streets, being happier and enjoying life more than most people in the rich countries with tons of possessions...more than amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share
