MY MOTTO Only the best for the guest. Nur das Beste für die Gäste. Rien que le meilleur pour le visiteur. ABOUT ME I’m a single, older guy with a great love of life and people. Languages are my passion, as well as travelling so I can put them into practice. I enjoy cinema, good wines and reading (crime, biographies, historical novels and travel literature). I have recently become interested in fitness and go to the gym three times a week. (I always invite my guests to come with me.) Another passion is musical theatre. Being a composer of musicals myself, I follow the latest trend in musicals with intense interest. I am especially interested in the musicals being staged in Germany at present. I have seen a lot of the world, including New Zealand, South, Central and North America, Vietnam, New Caledonia, Egypt and Jordan, most of Europe (West and East), Great Britain and Ireland. Australia doesn't interest me all that much at this stage. (Perhaps when I am too old travel!) Professionally I write music text books for schools. I have also written several musicals for schools. You can check me out on Wikipedia. I have recently written a murder mystery novella about Couchsurfing called 'House Rules'. (I may well be the first person in the world to have done this!)
