About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do not go where the path may lead, go where there is no path instead and leave a trail.

ABOUT ME

What can I say. I guess my friends like me because of being very friendly, funny and open-minded ;)
I like good conversations (not the superficial kind) and interesting people. I am very interested in other cultures and especially the different behaviors of other cultures that may appear rude or just funny to me at first but have a complete other meaning. This gets the fun nights going! Some times I am a little old school... overly polite... but that's my only bad part.

PHILOSOPHY

Experiencing as much as possible what this world offers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just incredible. I've always tried to interact with other cultures and people just by helping tourists in my city to get around. And of course by traveling which I do a lot. Now, meeting people via CS I get something like a 100% chance each time to meet somebody who wants to know more about me, my life and my country. I love it.

Interests

Meeting people, engineering, gym, friends, cooking and cultures.

  • cooking
  • wine
  • beer
  • traveling
  • socializing
  • paragliding
  • engineering

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Unfortunately, I only get to read my engineering books at the moment... and honestly I will not recommend those things for anyone who is up for a nice good-night read!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam with dolphins and piranhas in the amazon.
I jumped off a big mountain (which almost killed us since my body was trying to refuse the last step on the ramp which caused the paraglider to go straight down towards the next hill top).
I was amazingly welcomed in a home of a man who lives his life in war and fear. He hugged me being topless and only wearing a machine gun on his back and having some hand granades strapped to his belt... just in case.

Teach, Learn, Share

Mostly, I can teach a lot about engines. Or if you want to start small I'll just show you how to change a tire of your car ;). I love cooking... especially in company with a good wine ... or a beer (as you can see I am from Munich).
