CURRENT MISSION

making bus drivers smile.

ABOUT ME

No matter how hard I tried, I still wouldn't manage to describe who I am... I suppose it depends a bit on the cycle of the moon, if it's rainy or sunny, if the people on the bus give me a smile or if an animal crosses my way...

Things I can say for sure: I don't like beer, I'm terribly clumsy, I don't eat Schnitzel and I'm able to pronounce the "th" correctly. And all that despite the fact that I'm German.

PHILOSOPHY

If you can't be good, be careful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Listening to the stories others have to tell and hope to be able to tell them a story that they're interested in.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had guests, I've been a guest. And everything was great. Of course.

Interests

I like museums, theatres, concerts and poetry or song slams.

And pub quizzes (actually I learn more than I know, but someday it'll be the other way around, I'm sure).

And animals (a lot!), so I usually can't help but stroke especially cats that cross my way...no matter how dirty they are (well, I try to, they flee most of the time anyway).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Any city I've visited from the highest point I could get to.

Teach, Learn, Share

My goal is to learn something new everyday. As long as I can help people and they want it, I'm willing to share everything: knowledge, my bicycle, my toothbrush...

By the way, do you know why tin foil has a side that shines and one that doesn't? No? I'll tell you over a cuppa.
