ABOUT ME

I think others would describe me as calm and maybe quiet but also very friendly and tolerant

PHILOSOPHY

I think that everything we do in our lifes, we do it for a reason and a purpose. This purpose is joy or happiness. Joy comes from feeling alive. Life is everything we have and everything we can ever achieve. We are blessed with consciousness and therefore we are able to feel life. We enjoy that and we want more - we are addicted to it! So we search for anything that makes us feel more alive. The problem is that we are attracted to the sense objects and do not consider that they are only the media for us to feel ourselfes. The truth is, that life - this sole aim and ambition we have - exists inside of us. Our life is the most direct form of life we can ever find. We do not have to do anything to be alive, we are alive, yet. The only thing we have to do is to feel. And from this realization comes the greatest joy. Everything is done, everything is perfect, we are a process, we flourish and go by in every moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For the moment I'm not able to host anybody, but my situation hopefully will change in 2013.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

none, I'm looking forward to it

Interests

I studied biochemistry in Hamburg and really consider it very interesting. I'm generally interested in how life works and what is behind it. For the same reason I love philosopy and meditation.
I'm doing Capoeira since April 2011 and feel completely addicted to this wonderful sport.
I love nature, cultures and languages. I think I could say that I love humanity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There's nothing more wonderful than a moment in which you feel like centered in yourself and everything gets calm and beautiful. In such a moment it doesn't matter a lot where you are or what is happening around you.
However I remember that I cried of happiness when I was in Venezuela and saw all the green mountains and valleys for the first time through the window of the old bus I was travelling with.

Teach, Learn, Share

If one day we meet at my home or at yours, I'd like to learn a few words of your native language if I don't know it. And I would like to hear a few words about what you think about life.
