Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Wanna host and help anyone who
...can stand two kids bouncing up and down the neighbour (our private) appartment
...is able to stand my sometimes too deep technical and/or philosophical conversations .. if am there (be warned :-) )
...brings in an open mind and can show me and my kids how his part of our world looks like

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No experience to my regret .. hope to have more experience soon

Interests

My kids
...are the most important part of my life
...have their father less than three days a week .. and these are very intensive then

Flying
...I love the clear air on 2500ft
...SPL pilot by passion
...I enjoy to feel the winds

Fireblade cruising
...get up at 5am and take a ride on the Pegaso 650
...sometimes I am nuts enough to ride to a customer site (if less than 800km)

Chilling
...hannging over with friends and meeting interesting fellows

Reading
...favourite author is Voltaire (french philosopher)

Music, Movies, and Books

Ratatouille (watched it with Julian / my elder son) was a laugher - well done

Got my iPOD on me all the time but no matter what music: my Harman/Kardon at home offers the most natural and richest experience in sound .. my favourite right now is Israel Kamakawiwo'ole and his song "Over the rainbow" (guitar unplugged and richest voice)

Voltaire - Candite (that tells my life)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The biggest sandbox of the world
...rode the Sahara with my Pajero some years back .. mostly sand and desert but so rich and beautiful

The richest landscape
...I ever saw was Colombia, South America .. rode down the Andinos toward Venezuela .. would like to live there but noone ever called me over to fix the IT :-(

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach
...cryptography stuff .. noone wants to know about but uses it
...how the world works in a structural sense - seen most of the algo's real life bases on .. guess my studies in mathematics poisoned me a bit into that :-)

Learn
...about my environment

Share
...contribute to anyone who deserves it .. with anything I got

Countries I’ve Visited

Colombia, Eritrea, Serbia, United Arab Emirates, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
