there is not much to say. i am alive and happy for that! always hungry for new adventures and open to meet people wherever our path crosses. i like to observe and take part in this vibrant and everchanging world. if i have the time and the flow i like to write about „the ordinary madness we call life“ sometimes i write an essay or i try to continue my long term project, but mostly i just write down daily stuff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i discovered it some time ago, i dont use it often, but i think its a very nice way to have a cultural exchange and to meet new people.
