|| At the moment, I'm moving around a lot. If you catch me in Nördlingen, I can show you around and probably host as well. But chances are that I'm somewhere else =) ||

Approach what's around you with an open mind, curiosity, and respect; find friends, surprising beauty, and great experiences.

I almost always enjoy getting to know people. So in case you end up where I am and need a place to stay/a drink to be had/someone to ask questions/...: send me a message.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I don't think that interacting with other (human) beings within a purely economical framework makes much sense, I like the idea of Couchsurfing. You can get to know people from all over the world, learn interesting things, help eliminating hotels etc. as a filter between travelers and the places they visit.

Couchsurfing.com has moved away from this idea to a certain extent with the changes to privacy terms, the way verification works now, etc. I deleted my old account because of those changes, but since I don't know (yet, I hope) another platform that is closer to the idea I like and has a big enough userbase to be working well, I guess I'll become somewhat active again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leaving space and time for a bit.
In the mountains, riding powder; finding a book or a movie that is mind-blowing; listening to music; catching a wave; finding eyes to get lost in; walking around a corner into something totally unexpected; ...
