About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get through University

PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy? That is too big for me right now. Passion would be a keyword. Balance is important too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been in the Couch Surfing Burning Man camp in 2009, and it has been amazing.

Interests

I like sports, and when I am home I usually stay in shape by running and going to the Gym. I like to play Football, which I do regularly.
I am a big lover of beer and brewing. I brew my own beer at home on my free time to share with my friends and family (And hopefully with you too).
I like cooking also, and really try to find some time for that, which is not always so easy.
I spend alot of time just playing music, and it is also never enough.
I like going out with my friends, but a regular hangout is also just sitting in the balconey having cold beers and talking.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really love music. I play Piano and Guitar, and every instrument that I can put my hands on. I like all kinds of music and especially enjoy live music.
Really like going to Jazz and Blues clubs, and all kinds of concerts. I am very open to new things. It would be unfair to list my favorite artists, just because it will not give you the right picture.

I enjoy reading, but I really cannot say I do that enough. Still, among my favorite books you can find the following: "The Catcher in the Rye", J.D Salinger,
"All Quiet on the Western Front", Erich Maria Remarque,
"1984", George Orwell,
"Stranger in a Strange Land", Robert A. Heinlein,
"Trainspotting", Irvine Welsh.

I will not even try to list my favorite movies, I would just say that I like good movies, and there are enough of them in the world. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked two months in a summer camp for people with special needs in New York, no words to describe that amazing experience.
Went To Burning Man in 2009, literally, out of this world.
Skydived in Argentina in 2008, was incredible.

Teach, Learn, Share

Being an enthusiastic home brewer, I will be happy to give you a glimpse into the world of beer and brewing, share beer with you, and maybe even help you get started with home brewing.
I am no great musician, but I have some skills and abilities, especially on the guitar. I am always happy to share those, teach some basics, and then just play all our worries away.
