I'm someone who prefers laying in the grass looking at the stars over bar hopping on a Saturday night. I am fascinated by the "natural human" i.e. the hunter/gather human that composes 95% of human history and shares our current brain wiring. From that I like to adopt some natural practices such as living mostly barefoot, abstaining from skin and hair products, running long distances etc. etc. I also consider myself a Luddite. Meaning against technology. Phones take us away from our current beautiful Life and turn us into stale zombies! So I am not a picture taker, I think the photo snap interrupts the present current moment and studies show that the people who don't take pictures tend to remember the event more (albeit if your brain deems it important enough to remember). I love intimacy and deep conversations and because of that, prefer small group interactions (1-3) than large groups. I love History and Philosophy! I'd consider myself an unconventionalist. I think Life thrives on human interactions and when I travel I live by the motto: "the people make the place." I don't really travel for the sights and old churches but for the fascinating lives people live a world away from my own.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

To meet local adventurous people and experience a few days of life together! Through traveling I've learned that people make the place so I'm here to meet the people! One of my favourite quotes: "Happiness only real when shared."
