I like travelling, meeting new people and learning about people and their culture.
I am an open-minded and curious guy and I am adventurous about many things.
I am polite and friendly, easy going and down to earth. I also like to meet friendly and openminded people and want to make friends.

Philosophy:
- The kindness you put out into the world always has a way of coming back to you.
- promise me, never ignore someone who cares about you, because one day you will realize, that you lost your diamond, while you were just busy to collect simple stones.
- You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it’s better to listen to what it has to say. (Paulo Coelho)

For the sake of completeness (i guess, nobody cares anymore): 10.2022: Covid update: 3x vaccinated and 1x recovered 🦠

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In 2013 I read about Couchsurfing in a local newspaper and because I wanted to know how it works, I signed up and have been able to gain a lot of experience since then. I have learned a lot from my guests and hosts and have become much more open-minded since then. So I can say that many of my expectations have been exceeded in a positive way. 🙂
But there have also been some not so good experiences. I am happy to share all the stories I have experienced while Couchsurfing with my guests and hosts.
Please continue to be my guests or hosts.
