CURRENT MISSION

To get wisdom and have fun. I'm currently rinding a motorbike all around India.

ABOUT ME

I'm an enthusiastic person that love to meet people and new cultures. I think I speak too much but I also like very much to listen to people and their stories.
I start a lot of things but hardly ever keep on it. Nevertheless I'm sure there is a proper time for every single thing and thus one day I will end every book of my library, start playing tabla drums again and study russian, bengali, hindi and so many other languages.

PHILOSOPHY

As I said before: To get wisdom and have fun. But also to love people and food. And I would say that life is too short to spend your time with the wrong people, on the wrong job, at the wrong place.

And if you understand french, I like the below quotes:

"Le destin abat ceux pour qui il vient du dehors, comme la flèche abat le gibier. Mais il renforce ceux pour lesquels il vient du dedans, au plus profond d'eux-mêmes et il en fait des dieux" (F.Höderlin)

"L'apparence n'est rien, c'est au fond du cœur qu'est la plaie" (Euripide)

"Que sont toutes les actions et les pensées des hommes durant des siècles contre un seul instant de l’amour ?" (F.Höderlin)

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I slept on couches or even on the ground in various places. And that was almost never planned. After parties, celebrations or because I lost my way trekking or riding bike. CouchSurfing will be slightly different I guess but rewarding for sure.

Interessen

I love cooking and eating Indian, Thai, Chinese or any other other kind of food.
I like gardening and observing the beauty of nature and people. I create in my mind their whole life.
I'm also fond of doing NOTHING.

Lehren, lernen, teilen
