I am 54 years old and I live in a small row-house. But the house and my heart are big enough to be guest-givers. I think it´s very worthfull to be open heartet until you´re old! Being curious instead of doing the same things you´ve done every day is better!
I don´t fly because I don´t want to pollute the world so much - but I did fly. Canada, Tenerife - I had wonderful times there! But if you fly to Germany - doesn´t matter!
I love nature, I like to help nature, I try to eat biological grown food. But not always - it´s not my religion! I love to make photos with my Canon-equipement, I prefer to photograph nature.
I love melodic music, from Joe Cocker to Deep Purple to jewish music, from Camille Saint-Saën to Rimsky-Korsakov, norwegian singers (Kari Bremnes, Marie Boine...), modern music like some hip-hop-music or techno "bam-bam-bam".
I like to drive on my bicycle and to wander on mountaines!
Theodor Storm (aus der Erinnerung): "Ein grünes Blatt, aus sommerlichen Tagen, ich nahm es mir beim Wandern mit, auf das es einst mir möge sagen, wie schön die Nachtigall geschlagen, wie schön der Wald, den ich durchschritt".
The rest? Ask me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

ONE????
I have three children and I had the great luck to see them grow!
Some things in school I made right while being a teacher - when the pupil asked me very private questions to help them. This was, this is!, a great gift, to be accepted as someone, that is asked for help! It´s a big compliment for me.
I´ve planted an apple tree! More then one!
I saved many flys from starving in my rooms and I allways save rainworms on the asphalt from driing out.
I didn´t fall off a small rock wall from 10 m high - i got it to reach the top - but I´ll never do this f...ing shit again! Afterwards it was really great to survive!
Really amazing? To help at the birth of children!

Teach, Learn, Share

I´d like to learn playing duduk, the armenian flute. I can teach a little bit to make photos with canon, to hear music with good loudspeakers, to sit and talk serious and sometimes stupid things, just to watch nature - oh yeah, in nature I am really good!!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can cook together. I can show you my town and the surrounding land. We can play frisbee, boule (ptance), cards, monopoly.... We can sit an talk about every thing! Drink some vine, drink also milk or water, tea or beer (anything else!). We can´t smoke together!
