About Me

CURRENT MISSION

living with all senses, humour and open minded, do what you can do to keep and push friendship+ peace and beware our wonderful earth

ABOUT ME

60 years filled with many different experiences ... like to live intensivly with many colourful+humouros facets in my life,sometimes a little bit chaotic + adventurous ...like to talk, discuss and listen to/with open-minded,independent, tolerant and (self-)responsible people...like plants and animals, singing,dancing, laughing and eating with friends or sportive movement but also need sometimes silence, meditativ calmness and to be alone....
I don´t like too much alcohol/alcoholics or drugs!

PHILOSOPHY

live your life - intensiv with all senses, free and independent in balance - as long as you don´t hurt or misuse anybody else by your doing...and use your own personal abilities and possibilities to help and work together for a little change into a more peaceful world and easier life...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

during the last 40 years I/we often have hosted guests and travellers from all over the world in our home, even before I knew about couchsurfing...
Also I have got much help and some hosts when I was travelling.... many new and deep friendships are born by this....to keep them, it´s not necessary to meet all the time...we keep it inside our hearts and minds...and enjoy, when there will be a possibility to meet again one day....

Interests

interested in many things and themes, especially like to know and learn much about other countries and cultures, history+ politics+economics+social aspects, geological + geographic, biological+ psycological,ecological + technical questions (recycling, energy,sustainable economics+technology...)and like to think and discuss about creativ, self-organised solutions...like arts+ music+creativity...used to improvise and to talk about conflicts...sometimes hard working but also like to relax, enjoy life and living today...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

many, many things...how much is possible to reach, if you work together in a constructive way....

Teach, Learn, Share

experiences in
- mediation and non-violent/creativ solutions of problems or interest-conflicts (in individual relationships, familiy/surrounding and within work or community)
- building up self-organized structures of social help-systems and networking
-consulting employers in questions of professional education and giving work/practica possibilities for marginalized persons

have many practical abilities, have done many different things in my life (in house-building and renovation of houses, gardening/agriculture, working with wood and in the forest, sewing, consultation and working with children,youth and adult migrants, women and refugees,professional education...)
....used to improvise, outdoor-and conflict-proofed ...like pioneer working
... my own children are grown up and now I´m independent ....

would like to help+work together in building up something like a center of professional education for young people - maybe in connection with a sustainable and ecological tourism - prefered in a developping country...

What I Can Share with Hosts

Walking with our Animals (lamas, donkeys, mule, old horse, goat, sheep, dog)
If you like, you can help us by working in forest (for heating) or garden, by making hay for our animals or by renovating our old farmhouse - there is always anything to do ...
