ABOUT ME
like popeye said: i am what i am. i would call me an open minded person (a little shy sometimes), trying to find himself traveling around the world. i kind of lost my spirituality in the rush of my daily life in germany, so this is one of my missions: finding it back. i am always armed with paper and pen to draw people i meet on my travels or just to put down what comes in my mind. i love movies, music and art, especially comix. creativity is a well known buddy of mine.
i am an active guy, love to be in nature and smell what the wind is blowing into my nose (there is nothing better than the fresh breeze of the sea or the first breath when you come out of your apartment in a damn cold winter). but being lazy and do nothing is not bad at all either. eating is one of the things i really enjoy! i love to cook, even if i don't know too many recipes (my spaghetty with tomato sauce are the best)hmm... oh my god, and i love fruits!! i am still waiting for better fruits than those i had in croatia. sorry, i shouldn't start writing about food when i'm hungry ;P...
i am a "the glass is half full" type of a person. one of my favorite quotes is: keep your head up, even if your neck is dirty (it's from a german rapper, it sounds better in german). i believe in love and energies. and i believe that everything happens how it should but it is not necessarily destiny, it is more like, that there is no experience which is bad, you always learn something. i'm attracted to warm and positive thinking people who got a sense for humor and kind of a childish mind.
i am very close to my beloved family, which made me to what i am now. friends are the backbone of my life. they always bring me up when i am down and bring me down if i am too high.
PHILOSOPHY
be honest with you and everybody else! it's like a magic potion for beeing happy.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
i don't have any couchsurfing experiences till now. i hope that will change soon! i tried to get a couch in japan and australia, but like always: i was too spontaneous (or, i did it in the last minute, depending on how you think)
Interests
drawing, movies, music, art, traveling, sport, comix, being in nature, finding friends, being lazy, eating, cooking, being spontaneous, experiments, you tube addicted, finding nice places, going to festivals and concerts, camping, adrenaline, finding perfect moments (like in japan, where an artist was sitting on the street, selling his art. he got a ticket from the police before, for selling his art on the street. eventhough he did it again. i admired that and gave him my favourite badge: "streetart is no crime"! which i was wearing for more than a year. but he deserved it more than me. that's what i call a perfect moment.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
there is something every day...
there was this sunrise in nimbin:
i was sitting on a log, in the middle of nowhere on a permaculturefarm. the sun was crawling up the mountains to send her energetic light all over the place. the dew was sparkling on every blade of grass and in the spiderwebs. birds were flying from branch to branch and singing their songs for me.
it was a very touching moment.
