PLEASE NOTE: ONLY CONTACT ME IF YOU WERE BORN BEFORE 1983. THANKS! CURRENT MISSION "I travel, therefore I am": I'm a traveller in body and spirit, travelling by myself and through guest travellers I host in my Jerusalem flat. ABOUT ME What's there to tell? Easygoing, curious and trustworthy (if I do say so myself...), I'm a geographer and tour guide by trade, a lone traveller who's travelled extensively around Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Europe. I'm a member of other organizations similar to CS, through which I've hosted, and been hosted by, many people all over the world. PHILOSOPHY Paul Theroux, my favorite travel writer, once wrote that "travel is the saddest of lifes' pleasures". So true, especially for those who travel alone. I believe in hosting, and being hosted by, fellow travellers as a prime experience and a true path to mutual cultural exchange, from which we all benefit.

Warum ich auf Couchsurfing bin
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING As I said, I've hosted and was hosted numerous times in dozens of countries. CS revolutionised the way I travel, especially as I prefer travelling solo. Every single time I stayed over, or hosted someone, was an unforgettable human interaction I'm grateful for. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Where to begin? My host in Sarajevo took me to a charged soccer match between Serb and Bosnian teams. My host in Mali took my on a bizzare nature walk in the back of beyond. In Turkey my hosts threw me a birthday party. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Musik, Filme und Bücher
There's hardly enough gigabytes here to list my favorite movies, music and books. Suffice it to say that I love (almost) all kinds of music and read mainly travel titles.
Eine tolle Sache, die ich getan habe
My solo 6-month trip to India, Nepal and China (incl. Tibet and Hong Kong), at 23, was a watershed event in my life. After it my interests and actions have been revolving around geographically-oriented and travel-oriented themes. Since 1996 I have travelled extensively in Africa, the Balkans, Eastern and Western Europe and have gone overland from Germany to Japan.
Lehren, Lernen, Teilen
learning is an unevitable outcome of crossing paths. If you're in Jerusalem - a fascinating, complex city - feel free to contact me, even if you've already a place to crash.
Was ich mit Hosts teilen kann
I can offer a comfy mattress in a seperate room and/or a somewhat less comfy couch in my humble living room + tips and insights regarding Israel in general and Jerusalem in particular.
Meine Interessen
