About Me

CURRENT MISSION

my mission is composing, playing double bass, travelling, outdoor sports and philosophy

ABOUT ME

it would be better to hear my friends talking about me,
but nevertheless: I like people, I like to engage in social life whatever that may be.
I like to perform in groups but I also enjoy beiing on my own.
I like outdoor sports, that is to say I cannot imagine a life without it.

PHILOSOPHY

life is a bitch and communication is the thing

and then if you can do the talk, can you also do th walk?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i long time ago this couchsurfing was a quite natural thing you did at the time hitchhiking trough europe.
after that getting to know African countries i discovered couch surfing as a lifestyle as part of different cultures
and now a friend of mine talked me into this so i am happy to discover
some variations in a lifestyle
as much as i like others especially young people to do the same
