Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
.. getting more connected to people and visitors in my hometown
ABOUT ME
I like the city but being outside catches me more. Sometimes I need to be on my own, but most times I prefer to share with others through discussing or just doing stuff together. Music, people, nature, all kind of weather and just life itself is making me a mostly life enjoying, glad person. I work on not letting me bothering by work and getting stressed by the watch, and society.
PHILOSOPHY
you have always a choice even if it doesnt look like
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've had great couchsurf experiences as a surfer in Copenhagen and Almeria/Granada by getting to know great people and spending good time with them which has been very enriching. Meeting people and to exchange experiences with them is what makes journeys or life in general more colourful.. without others I would not have made the same experiences during my travels in general.
So I`d love to show others the not touristical side of Bremen.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
a few years ago a guy from belgium passed the town I was living in on his way by bike to denmark. He searched a hostel, but there was none. I didn't know of couchsurfing this moment, but we had a free bed, so he stayed at our place. It was a great experience to get to know another person spontaneously and I think couchsurfing.com is the best way to collect more of such good moments.

Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you names of some plants and I'm quite patient with people who try to learn a language I can speak.
I'd like to learn sailing.
I want to share nice places I love which are not the ones you can find marked in a map as a sight.
