About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Everything happens for a reason!

ABOUT ME

People who know me will say: Always optimistic, always happy. Has got a smile for everyone.
People who truely know me, good friends, will say: Mostly optimistic, often happy. Sometimes idealistic, but can also be very thoughtful and serious. Good listener as well as pretty talkative.
But whatsoever others might say. Meet me and make your own opinion :-)

PHILOSOPHY

I have a dream that one day each and every man can live his life irrespective of his skin color, his income and his gender.
I have a dream that one day wars are waged in conference rooms by those people who want them to be waged.
I have a dream that one day people will succeed in accepting lives, faiths and attitudes that are different to theirs instead of fighting them, and thus that they will grow and broaden their horizons.
I have the mission to contribute my part. I have the mission to take a first step...
...the smallest step might be the departure into a better world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'd like to participate much more. I just started working and I miss the international environment of the university. I'd like to make some friends through CouchSurfing, to meet people from all over the world, to create a network...

Interests

MUSIC!!! I love listening to all kinds of music, esp. (Alternative) Rock ... but even more I enjoy making music myself. It's like passing on a part of myself to others. I'm playing the piano and the clarinet and I LOVE singing all day long :-)
FRIENDS!!! My friends - including those who will be one day - are the most important part of my life. Without them I wouldn't be who I am today.
BOOKS!!! Books open the way into an infinite number of new worlds, they offer an infinite number of different lives to me.
