About Me

CURRENT MISSION

be done with what i've got to do

ABOUT ME

now i'm a father.
so life is different. but i still cycle rather than drive. i still cook on gas. but i stopped cooking meat and fish.
i left the city for the small town of weimar and i sometimes regret that.
i go climbing or canoeing if i'm not working, but i work most of the time. i like my work. i like good food. i like a good coffee and glass of wine in good company. i get nervous if there's no chocolat around.
and i am often upset with what has become of us europeans. i loathe the fascist idiots here and elsewhere.
i am horrified with the political and ecological ignorance and utter stupidity that i witness more and more often, nearer and nearer.

PHILOSOPHY

washing your dishes by hand keeps you in touch with the things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

it's all about places and people and about how people make places and places make people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

staying at ahmed's place in beirut was great. more than i'd have hoped for.

Interests

i dare say i'm an interested person. but when people talk only about themselves i get bored very easily.
