About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to educate young kids :)

ABOUT ME

Hey there,

just a brief discription! I'm a fun loving guy, open to nearly everything, really deep into music, movies; I love my friends and spending time with them! My no 1 goal in life is making this planet better!

Music, friends, my family, my gf and sports are the things I care most about. Music really means a lot to me. It's not just about having a good time with it, it also gives me comfort when I'm sad; it inspires me, it largely defines what I am. I've been playing the piano for 20 years, organ in church for about 12 years and I am learning to play the guitar and tin whistle, although I could try harder ;)

I am not that much into "simple" movies/books/music like those superhero movies, books like "twilight" or music like charts/house/electro. I love more challenging stuff, things that have a value to me and offer me new perspectives. Ok, sometimes I do relax with some Stephen King, oldschool Rock'n'Roll or "The Simpson" ;) But I also enjoy my socially/politically critical books / movies / music.

I love going out, but not to discos and clubs. I love pubs and bars and places where you can have a really good conversation with your friends and new people cause that gives me the most pleasure. There's nothing better than drinking good beer and having an awesome conversation; sometimes about funny and beautiful stuff, but also about politics, humanity and our failures.

I hate homophobia, I hate nationalism and the people who are selffish in the first place. I want humanity to act as one with no borders between us, since we are all the same. And here is the link to CS: It gives the opportunity to meet new people, to learn their culture, to get rid of stupid prejudices we all have heard of in our youth.

I haven't travelled as much as I wanted to so far, but still: It is one of the things I lvoe the most so I hope I will make new wonderful experiences in the future!

PHILOSOPHY

Hm, the most important thing to me in life is helping other people, being open-minded and always friendly.

Last but not least: I've used Airbnb 2 times and these are the comments my hosts wrote about me and my girlfriend (might be helpful to you):

Nino from Naples, Italy: "it was a wonderful experience hosting Sara and Bjorn. They are two persons very happy, nice, good company. We spent several days together, and made dinners super delicious! I recommend them to every host and I hope to have them again as my guests! "

Denitsa from Munich, Germany: "Wunderbare Menschen!" (Wunderful people)
