***I'm back to Turin***

CURRENT MISSION

Save the world...(what else?)

ABOUT ME

I just realized that it's a long time that i didn't change this here... it still said i was travelling, but actually i'm living in Turin since October! haha...;) (you see, i'm always very fast!)

And i'm enjoying it! Turin is a really great place.
I'm here to study Urban Planning at the Politecnico, but i'm also participating in the Degrowth Movement and playing theatre....

The last days i was walking for some days not far from here in the Gran Paradiso National Park and again i thought that it was a good choice to come here.

About me?
Well i think reading all the things i wrote you can understand something - and if not: ask me!

NB: I won't be in Turin from the second of august to the ninth of september as i'm going back to Munich (where i was born and lived for the first twenty years of my life) for the summer.

PHILOSOPHY

Do the best you can! Could be more creative I know, but actually that's really important for me. Today I read in another profile: If something doesn't work, there will always be another way, which actually is similar and I just experienced it some times in the last week (e.g. I'm now traveling through the Caribbean and the US, instead of Asia, as I had planned till a week before departure...)

But don't be afraid I'm not an optimistic, always-smiling, always saying "think positive" guy, I love to be negative and evil and bad sometimes...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I host people and I ask other people to host me.
I always thought, that´s the way, is there another?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last autumn I made a trip by train and ship to Portugal, Madeira, the Canaries and Morocco and going from Tenerife to Morocco by ship I had to pass through Laayoune, the theoretical capital of the Western Sahara occupied by Morocco.
I´ve been there only for one day, because actually there is nothing to do or to see but it is a place where normal noone goes (also because there are many warnings) and the people were so incredibly nice, they greeted me on the street and asked if I was fine and in the end I was invited to a tea at home by a guy and I went with him and sat there with the familiy enjoying this great maroccan tea...

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I can cook quite well, but I don´t know if I can teach you anything about it, as my cooking "technique" is really chaotic...
