CURRENT MISSION

Mastering my Studies :D

ABOUT ME

I am a physical therapist, but don´t work as one right now.
I think life is not about working for the rest of your life.
Yes, I know we need money to provide for ourselves, but I just don´t like the idea of getting a job and work till you´re old and grey.
There is so much more to do than working before my body gives up on me.
So I decided after a short stay in New Zealand I´m going back to University. And I did :D

I´m always looking for new experiences and inspirations to live a life away from the 9-to-5-world.

PHILOSOPHY

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn´t do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
-Mark Twain
(I have to admit I found it in Laird Hamilton´s book `Force of Nature´)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If you want to stay at my place, just contact me and we figure something out :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couch was in erlangen.
It was a pity that we were to tired to leave the house, but it was quite a pleasant evening.

I don´t couch surf much right now, because of my studies, but in the past it helped me a lot to get around mostly in Sweden and France. I met quite a few nice and friendly people.

Interests

I´m really into music and sports.

I love different kinds of music, but prefer hand made tunes like Dylan, Foo Fighters, Mr.Vedder,....I´m also into old rock like Queen, Led Zeppelin, Eddie Money and all this stuff.
I don´t really get electronic music. It´s fun for an hour, but to me it sounds like the same song over and over again :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It´s amazing when people are interested in the music we make.
It´s unbelievable that people, even if it´s just a few, like what we do.
Music is kind of a therapy. I used it a lot so far to get over a broken heart, but it´s even better when others can identify themselves with what we wrote and find their own interpretation.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to commend this paragraph with a line from a `Shout out Louds´song: show me something new.
Maybe we can show each other new things, new ideas, different philosophies....
