About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Try and find out new things in life like cultures, art and people

ABOUT ME

I am trying to be myself as much as possible. I am honest. I like to make jokes and do strange, litle crazy things. I am very relaxed. I am not fast shocked or surprised of somebody´s behaviour, how strange or extreem it is. Others can be themself pretty fast, hanging around with me.
I like to work with people, to meet people and observate them. I like music. I like to go to theatre ones in a while. I read, but not a lot. And I like travelling! I like to be in different places. I like to see how on this earth different human beings try to make the best of there life. I think there´s not one way to do that. I like to learn. To learn about life, culture, behaviour, everything on earth!

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life because I was born. I am on earth so I better make it as good as possible, my life. I feel lucky to be born in western Europe. It gives me the most freedom one can have on earth at the moment. So I want to do as much as possible with that opportunity. I think that if everybody try´s to be as happy as possible and do what they realy want, the more happy people are on this planet.
I think the science as we no at the moment, is one of the theory´s to explain the planet. In history there where a lot other theory´s to explain our complicated planet and in the future there will be more others. I think there´s more than science.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I slept ones with a friend in a truck during our hitch-hike tour throw the baltic states.
I slept in a tent at a parking-beninzestation-restaur ant-place next to the highway in austria. Funny to wake up, open the tent and see an old couple parking their car with caravan, wondering what they might think...
I slept a lot in backyards with tent from people we met during the day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I saw about nature was Norway. The most amazing thing I saw about an other country was Ukraine and Moskow.
The most amazing thing I did was sleeping in a truck, swimming naked on Terschelling (one of the dutch islands), hitch-hiking from Bratislava to Ljubljana in 1,5 days to be at a dutch festival and watch my DJ friends playing a night long,
going with one big suitcase and one backpack to live in Berlin without visiting this city ever before, without knowing anyone.
