About Me

ABOUT ME

i would say i am an open- minded guy, who you can talk to a lot, if you like to. and who notices right now that hes got more problems to write in english as he thought...., but i will try my very best to make it kind of understandable for you...

in everyday life i would say i am an uncomplicated outgoing guy who takes life as not to serious when not necessary.
I like to enjoy the little things like watching movies with friends or play some games
I like doing Sports. I used to Play Soccer. Now I prefer cross fit and wakeboarding.

I think living with me is easy because I fit in easily and that worked out very well in the past. hope my former roommates would say the same ;)

but the best would be, if you get your own impression of me,
so I stop writing right now, see ya

PHILOSOPHY

often just a little smile can keep the big trouble away..;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about it from the radio and got interested. I think it´s a perfect way to travel around and get to know the others in their regular life.
I surfed at a few places during my work and travel year in OZ so far, awesome ;)
Also had some cooking sessions with people close to my place... yammi
After that I was host mist of the time. The guests left nice recommendations. So I think I did ok as a host ;)
Right now (2020) I am not hosting much anymore. Living situation changed.
You can still try but don't be disappointed when I deny.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was "surfing" in Cattai at a lovely families place, great land between two national parks and close to the lake where we did canoeing in the sunrise..... it was wonderful.
I also surfed in Hobart and in Melbourne.
The surf in melbourne was pretty much a perfect example for the directness of australian people. I got into a talk with "bruce" in a bar telling him that i have to sleep on the street that night because my money from work before didnt arrive on my soon enough. And all the cheap hostels were fully booked. I further told him that I spent my last money on beer to get more comfortable with the plan to sleep outside....
STRAIGHT AWAY he invited me to his place. So I stood there for the next two days until my payment arrived.
Guys you can trust me: that was not an exceptional case. The ozzies are great like Bruce was!! Go there to assure yourself. It is worth it.
Well there are many more stories like this I will tell you if we meet up someday!

Interests

Like a mentioned earlier, I like doing sports
I am also intersted in meeting my friends, going to (movie)theatre or just chill.
I really like meeting new people.
On the lazy days I prefer to watch movies, doesn´t matter what kind(rather a well made drama than a meaningless action-movie)
