Overview
About Me
I live in a house with my wife and several pets 1 1/2 miles from the centre of Fürth. We often get visits from our Children and Grandchild.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I enjoy travelling especially to exciting cities. It's stimulating. But, to be honest to you, I'm actually more interested in the people and their way of life, attitudes and thoughts than only sightseeing. I've hosted people from India (10) 🇮🇳, Chile 🇨🇱, Mexico 🇲🇽 (2), Italy 🇮🇹 (2), Brazil 🇧🇷, Morocco 🇲🇦 , USA 🇺🇸(2) , Germany 🇩🇪 (16), Korea 🇰🇷 (2), France 🇫🇷 (5), Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 , Tasmania 🇦🇺 (2), Switzerland 🇨🇭, Kazakhstan 🇰🇿, Ecuador 🇪🇨, Russia 🇷🇺 (2), Denmark 🇩🇰, Slovenia 🇸🇮, Taiwan 🇹🇼, Czech Republic 🇨🇿, Ukraine 🇺🇦, New Zealand 🇳🇿, Great Britain 🇬🇧 (2), Sweden 🇸🇪, United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪, Japan 🇯🇵, Venezuela 🇻🇪, Bangladesh🇧🇩, Columbia 🇨🇴 (2), Turkey 🇹🇷 (2), Israel 🇮🇱, Estonia 🇪🇪, Malaysia 🇲🇾, Albania 🇦🇱, Hungary 🇭🇺 and Spain 🇪🇸.
Interests
My favorite hobby apart Couchsurfing is beekeeping. It´s very interesting and exciting for me.
Last year I got about 20 stings! Ouch!!!
Since 2024 I‘m a certified city guide of Fürth. I love to tell stories about my city.
I also like playing some piano and cajon, used to play drums in jazzrock-, soul- and rhythm´n´ blues bands.
I love gardening, especially hedge-trimming and cutting plants into different sculptures (as you can see in my pictures). My hedge in front of the house is meanwhile famous in the district ;-)
Moreover I like to create photobooks and photo flipboards and furthermore hiking, running (not too fast) and biking when I'm too lazy to take the car.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Last in the beginning of may I caught 3 swarms of bees within a week (the first one you can see in one of the pictures).
