Not hosting between August 20 and September 6.
FIRST AND FOREMOST
- If you request to stay with me, I'll usually respond within a few hours (during daylight).
Please read the FIRST AND FOREMOST-section and the "my house"-section and include in your message which item (e.g. a bicycle, a backpack, a pan, a....) describes you best and why.
- Respect in requesting is important to me. Sadly, that's not for everyone in here. So I don't want to be part of a mass request. Please only ask one person at a time, because everyone is human here and deserves respect. Therefore, I like it when people respond to requests. As an active host, I receive many requests and I plan my time accordingly. I enjoy helping people, but I am feeling misused when I get canceled, then.
- Some people don’t host surfers if they don’t have any reference, but I don`t care. Nevertheless, the idea of CS was to host first and surf then. Why should I trust you if you don’t trust anyone? Think about it ;)
- My Covid-status: Vaccinated and also recovered. (both twice)
- I am not interested in sexual contact, but I am open to hugs / cuddles
- Duolingo: Theo262824
CURRENT MISSION
The question "Why do you do what you do?" is far more significant than "What do you do?" If you haven’t yet asked yourself, "Why do I do what I do?", the time to reflect is now. While it's possible to pursue any career or activity, if your sole motivation is just to earn money or seek pleasure, it might be worth reconsidering your path. I’m here and happy to reflect on this together with you. :)
Currently, I have two major goals. My primary goal is to build up great connections with people, make memories, and fight back against all the horrible things in this world, such as fascism, climate change, hate speech, white supremacy, sexism, and so on. My secondary goal is to become a professor in computer science in the near future. The latter one occupies most of my time right now.
It surprises me to find myself on this journey. Just a few years ago, I was involved in activism, occupying forests, and striving to create a better society. However, my disillusionment with the state's use of violence and the lack of effective means to achieve social and climate justice led me to change course and I became an active Christian. After being disappointed by “the church,” I again had to rediscover what I am living for. Now, I focus on mathematics and want to find out how to be a useful part of society. My PhD thesis explores several biological questions related to the mass extinction of animals from an algorithmic perspective. While I’m unsure if this contributes to societal change, at least it feels non-harmful.
Ultimately, my goal is to leave a positive impact on society. To achieve this, I aspire to embody values that have become essential to me, such as meekness, generosity, and love for those around me. Along the way, I hope to connect with great people and create memorable experiences with friends.
ABOUT ME
In my life, I have tried many things and then followed through pretty consistently. To give just a small list of them: I was successful in my studies, I visited many soccer stadiums, I was quite successful in party politics, I occupied forests, enrolled as a missionary, and and and. A very colorful bouquet of life experiences.
An interesting fact about me: I share all my money in a group. So we do not have to be lone warriors. Please dare to ask me more about that if you are interested.
For me, it is important not to live on the cost of others. Minimalism and living mostly in harmony with nature are two of my top ideals.
UPCOMING TRAVEL PLANS
… I traveled so much recently that I do not have concrete plans.
