About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get to know my own country :)

ABOUT ME

I did my fair share of travels and it all started out with a one year work and travel in Australia. That time changed me for good. I got bitten by the travelbug :D
However eventually I went to university and started my degree in Astrophysics (soonish to be done). If I could I would definetly extend my travels going away from earth. But the option of going to Mars on a one-way doesn't sound too promising. There is still too much awesome stuff to see on this world, so I can't just leave for good :P
Studies limited my ability of doing a lot of extended travelling. But I used all chances I got to get out a fair bit. This brought me on several small trips through Europe and Colombia. Right now I made it to Toronto, Canada, where I will spend one month studying. And afterwards once it gets too cold in Canada I will go for further studying to Teneriffe to warm up a bit, before I finish my degree back in Bonn, Germany.

PHILOSOPHY

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mistery, but today is a gift!! Thats why they call it present ;) (By the way this is from Kung-Fu Panda :D I do like kids movies! Well also a bunch of other movies, but hey :D)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In Australia I started my couchsurfing experiences. So far they were all really good. I love all the Hosts I had! (Thanks to all of them again at this stage!)
However i have not been able to couchsurf for a long time. I did participate in the local activities in Bonn and Cologne for a while but got eventually to the point where time didn't permit it anymore. However, I am always keen on getting back to it if I manage to find the time.

Interests

Travelling, well obvious or I wouldn't be here.

Team Sports especially Team Handball. I am a goalkeeper and for everyone who doesn't know Handball... I feel so sorry for you! It is the most exciting sport also for just watching it.

Reading (Harry Potter nerd... But otherwise I enjoy a whole bunch of books. Especially thrillers :) Karin Slaughter is great ;)_

Space, Stars, Planets awesome stuff that is much bigger than us. Did I mention that I study astrophysics? Really everything related to this is just awesome. Wondering who we are, where we are and where we come from... I think everyone does that and well i am on my way making it my profession :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: basically everything. I am really not good at music but i like to sing (for myself... I don't want to kill people) and listen to almost any kind of music. Queen and the waifs are the most notable Bands if you happen to find my Ipod (which I rarely give away. You know playlists are personal and stuff ;)

Movies and Books:
Almost everything? Funny thing though: Horror and Psycho... I love it in books and hate it in movies ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling the Australian West coast.

Sleeping on the roof of my car under the Outback Night sky.

Going to Colombia for two months without speaking any spanish.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I know a lot about stars :D Otherwise I can teach you everything I know :D Go figure out yourself, what that is :P

I am always interested in learning new stuff. And I love new experiences if it comes to food. So if you happen to know some awesome recipe you think I have to know: please share it!!
