About Me

CURRENT MISSION

MISSION - what a big word ;-) ! It´s just the idea to give others the possibility to travel economically priced and get to know people and to have this possibility for myself.

ABOUT ME

Who I am??? - Where do I come from??? - Where do I go to??? --- UFFFFF

I try to act appropriate to the situations I am into.
I like crying with the crying ones and loughing with the loughing ones.
Live is allways whats happening now - the past is gone and the future we do not no nothing about.
I love having companionship.
I am interested in what people think and what they believe! How they live, what their livestory is,...
I love dancing - salsa for example. I can be serious and I can lough - I can be romantic and I can be pragmatic - I can love and I can hate - I can think and I can dance,...
Ok that´s enough at this place. In the best case we´ll meet each other in my or in your home!

PHILOSOPHY

Life begins today.
The very moment is eternity.
It´s good to know that I do not know.
Cry with the crying ones and lough with the loving ones.
It´s good to take a new look on life and people every day again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am thankfull to have two kids (26 and 25)
I travelled a lot in foreign countries and in Germany itself. I made all kind of experiences in my life. I don´t want to miss neither the good times neither the really tough times I had.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am generally open minded to share what ever I think, know, do not know (all my questions), can, can´t,...
believe, do not believe, feel, do not feel,... just to share my life how it is in the moment we meet.
