About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Disregard national borders and experience each place by its regional aspects.

ABOUT ME

I realize and analyze. I try to find the duality of life to be custom. Don't be upset if I give you a new perspective on things. I have been called keen and original but, really, I am simply not shutting my eyes nor my mouth. I am, however, very eager to improve my language abilities and making friends all over the world.
Although I doubt my friends would say I'm a simple guy, I'm really not much of a complicated person (see how I did that);
In fact, I'm easy to get along with I'd say

PHILOSOPHY

Be there or be square!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been couch surfing since 2008. I have made use of it on three continents and I think it is a great alternative to our consumptive, anonymous world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never had a bad experience. Every time was great.

Interests

Obviously traveling…. but also: cinema, quantum mechanics & biocentricism, Renaissance and post-modern philosophy, Japan, Western cultural history, whisky, photography, member of the non-parliamentary opposition.

Music, Movies, and Books

'Lost In Translation', 'The Shawshank Redemption', 'Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring', 'Hana-bi' & selected Takeshi Kitano works; 'Treme' is a great show.

(minimal) Electro, Buckcherry, … sometimes Van Halen. Millencolin and basically all of Burning Heart Records. I appreciate old school hip hop but, really, all it depends on is my mood and/or ‰ :D

'Zeitoun', 'Eyewitness Ausschwitz', 'War without Fronts', 'Methland', 'Wenn Hitler den Krieg gewonnen hätte'.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I lived on Hawai'i, I went free diving with my friend at the shores of O'ahu. We once saw a 7" galapagos shark crossing our path. I felt excited and fucking stupid at the same time.

Also stopped mj, cigarettes and mcdonald's cold turkey. Also cutting on meat. I don't discriminate though.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching language - learning language. Sharing perspectives on things. Live every culture by its roots. Engage in mental and/or physical effort (work) in order to better yourself and humanity; I can cook basic German, Italian dishes and sorts. Even some Japanese.
