CURRENT MISSION

looking for excitement, joy, and ridiculously unconventional moments

ABOUT ME

All about me? Best is probably to throw in a couple of adjectives - possibly contradictory - friends accuse me of at certain occasions:
alternative, fun adicted, laid back, part time alcoholic, TV hater, dancer, modest, worst singer ever, shy, show off, sportive, crazy, lethargic, lazy, positive... basically an everyday normal guy. ;)
my history: German country boy -> boarding school teenager -> long term student; live in Belfast since 2009

PHILOSOPHY

I gave up on having one particular personal philosophy years ago; Perhaps my philosophy would be then: poeple with philosophies have too much time to think about stuff like this. ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

both, travelling and hosting

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Till now I surfed only twice... but want to use it more often in the future as it was always a nice experience...
In our house in Belfast we have been hosting a couple of couchsurfers every year. Not too extensive, though. only when it's convinient or we feel particularly social. ;) also check out my housemate "judith and jude"s page!

Basically I consider everything I do amazing. :) But yeah, some of my experiences deserve to be mentioned:
- Greek wedding: over 400 people drink, dance and have fun the whole night through... really amazing
- Croatian beaches on deserted islands + night swimming in the Adria: boat trip with a couple of friends
- Walking naked through the streets of Leipzig at dawn
- Celebrating in Russia with Russians even though there was no common ground of understanding (I: no Russian, them: no English)
- Iguazu Waterfalls: possibly one of the nicest sights in the world
