I am just a man on this world. Skilled farmer, development worker, mechanic, veterinarian... Enthusiastic motorcycle rider. For traveling, not for racing. Did Cairo to Cape Town in 2018/19 with a friend and solo from Sept. 2022 to March 2023 a seven months no-plan journey around the southern countries of East Africa and partly together with my yougest daughter (than 14 years). In summer 2023 I traveled together with my son (then 13 years) around Zambia, Tanzania, Malawi and Zimbabwe.
And I love books. I need them around me, right next to me and always at least one in my backpack. If not yet, discover the miracle of reading. Just do it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love the idea, short visits from people and sharing stories and ideas from all over the world.

Interests

Reading, watching movies, theatre, music and traveling (not nessecarely with my motorbike). Real talks with real people. And of course I like my work as an official vet. Otherwise life would be boring, would it?!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Raising my children and teaching them tolerance and a open mind.

Teach, Learn, Share

Information is not knowledge.
Knowledge is not wisdom.
Wisdom is not truth.
Truth is not beauty.
Beauty is not love.
Love is not music.
Music is THE BEST. (F. Zappa)

Is it? For me, books are THE BEST.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Experience and stories from life, the universe and everything.
A mind is like a parachute, it doesn't work when its not open.
