About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling France

ABOUT ME

Having a very little business with nice customers, business-partners and a great staff, I lead a happy life.
I admit, though, that I would not be so happy, if I couldn´t see something else once in a time.
This time comes during the winter months, when I close my shop. That´s the time for travelling.

The way I like to travel has changed over the years. Whereas I liked to be on the road every day when I was twenty, I now like to stay in one location for a longer period of time, because it is so nice to become more familiar with a place.

Since I could not afford to be somewhere on holiday for months, I try to find work in
surroundings that I like. And working is not just a nessecity, but adds a lot of joy and fun to being abroad.

I'm interested in languages, because the more languages you speak the greater is the number of people you can exchange thoughts with, and it happened many times that I thought, I wouldn' t have known this interesting person if we hadn't had a common language to speak to each other.

I love running and hiking, and I'm in Ju-Jutsu.
Back home I like to do survival-training with friends, and I try to learn new tecniques in every country I come to.

Then there is something which might make me less interesting for hosts: I'm not so much an evening person. It's awful, but I get very lazy and tired in the evening, and things get worse when I drink beer: half a litre and you can't wake me up again. I guess it' s just my bio-rythm, but since everybody around the world seems to get active when it gets dark, I would be very glad, if you knew a cure for it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like the idea to have guests from all over the world in times when I can' t go out to see the world. So I'm happy to offer a couch.
