I grew up in a small town in Germany (about 40 min. from Frankfurt) and I've been a curious kid from the very beginning. In my second year in elementary school I started listing data about all the countries of the world in endless charts and did research on eeeeeeeeeverything of interest for a (weird) child like me. My constant longing for experiences and knowledge made me run away from home a lot and moving out early. I was quite the troubled kid, got kicked out of school twice but made it back to the Gymnasium (German equivalent of the American high school) were I started and graduated. I always thought I hate school, but over time had to realise I miss the talking and debating we did in philosophy-, german-, english-, arts-, politics- and social science class. I gained quite some knowledge on politics, geography and history (and my brain can store shitloads of useless random facts on basically any subject). I like to think of myself as an autodidact, but unless something really excites me I tend to lack discipline and focus (working on that). I'm open-minded, curious, chaotic, often political, direct, vegetarian (not the annoying type, I promise!) and honest. I married my wonderful German-Russian-Kazakh-Ukrainian-Tartarian wife in Las Vegas in April 2017. We live in Israel now and work in a psychiatric clinic. I know for sure that I want to study, but I can't say what, when and where yet. In late 2018 we will move to Seoul, South Korea.

Почему я на Couchsurfing
I'm using couch surfing to get in touch with new people and see the world not only from my own perspective but also through the eyes of "locals". I want to learn from others experiences and share my own ones. And of course I'm also trying to save money and help other travellers keep a budget ;)
Музыка, кино и книги
I love to read nonfiction, historical novels, biographies (!), magazines and newspapers :3 While I don't play an Instrument myself (regret it), I know a lot of music and I've been to music festivals (small and huge) all over Europe and Israel. I love Techno (Acid Pauli, Stimming, David August, Scuba, Magdalena, Maceo Plex), old and new Jazz stuff (Oscar Peterson Trio, Hiatus Kaiyote), Indie/Electro/Weird stuff (Buttering Trio, Dimlite, Karen Dun, Alt-j) and all kinds of other music that I don’t exactly know how to categorize such as: Jonathan Wilson, Israel Nash, The Wilco, Damien Rice, Eddie Vedder, Oktalogue
Одно удивительное, что я сделал
I married in Las Vegas and went to Alaska for honeymoon. While exploring hot springs north of the arctic circle I was just ten seconds away from being run over by a small sports plane, coming out of nowhere and approaching to land on a remote dirt-landing strip that I didn't expect to still be in use.
Что я могу предложить хостам
Stories, experiences, advice :)
Мои интересы
I went to Paris by bike when I was 14, got my first motorcycle licence with 16 (~25.000km/15,000mi experience) and I have more than 100.000km/60,000mi experience in driving a car (did a lot of road trips and worked as a pizza delivery boy). While travelling, I can always enjoy the transportation part, no matter if I'm on a plane, train or ship; sitting in a Car, riding a motorbike or whatever. I enjoy hiking and mountain biking (but I’m unfortunate enough to get my bike stolen over and over again; yes I use locks!). I like camping. I’m reading a lot, but most recently I’m more into audiobooks because you can listen to them while working, cooking or driving.
