About Me

ABOUT ME

I love travelling around the world, after Europe I started to explore North America, these days doing more traintravelling through Europe!
The USA and certainly Canada are really cool and Gran Canaria is hot!
During the restaurant "adventure", travelling was less :-(, but hey... you can't have everything in life (at least not at the same time, I guess).
First things first!

...otherwise ... feel free to shoot (your questions ofcourse)

What I already experienced in this lifetime:
- Diplomacy is soooo important...
- Life = Give and Get Respect!
- There are always people living a life much worse than yours... so chill...
- Money doesn`t make you happy but no money neither so...
- War and ignorance are NO solutions!!!

What other people say about me, and I suppose they're right ;-)...
- analytical, reserved in the beginning but quickly more open hearted when chatting with openminded people
- calm personality, problemsolver,...
- Realistic, rational
- Intolerant against dishonesty

***Greetz and Happy Travelling ***

PHILOSOPHY

At the end when I'm old and retired, sitting in my chair watching some sunset thinking about my life I must be able to say that I regret (almost) nothing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only been host so far and enjoyed it! Not yet experienced the surfing side :-).
Although earlier after some chatsessions, we met some great guys in Canmore and Calgary (Canada) and Butte (Montana, US) in 2005. They offered a place to stay, some delicious food, American drama and a great time!
This must have been a sign... everything does happen for a reason after all
