About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Figure out how live a happy and fulfilling life

ABOUT ME

I haven`t "couchsurfed", yet. But I`ve travelled a lot in my life: India, Ghana, USA, Europe.
Right now I live in India but I will return to Germany in August 2014.

I`m very clean and I don`t need much to be happy.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too valuable for senseless work and consumption. Taking resources comes with the responsibility to give resources. Sharing is caring and happiness is more important than material wealth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven`t couchsurfed, yet. But once I figure out where my place to live will be, I`ll gladly host friendly travellers :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

none, till now.
But I stayed at many different people`s places: Like a Friend`s room at a compound in Jirapa, northern Ghana for 10 days or on the floor of a friend`s living room in Hannover, Germany.

Music, Movies, and Books

Regenerating the Soil: From Agronomy to Agrology, by Claude Bourguignon
and The One-Straw Revolution by Masanobu Fukuoka
Right now I listen a lot to the Delta Saints because their music reminds me of a road trip through the USA.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In July 2014 I went to Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India and visited the amazing Meenakshi Temple, a beautiful experience.
