About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to change

ABOUT ME

i think life is about living it and that is exactely what i'm trying to do...
it's about finding out what life really is, who you really are and what you really want!
life is not just about standing there and waiting until something happens, it's about changing and growing operated by human interactions !!!

PHILOSOPHY

one day your life will flash before your eyes.
make sure its worth watching.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

of course it is necessary to hang around with people that you know, to do stuff with friends and family, because everbody needs something like a base, where you don't have to think what you do or say ...
a base that you can trust a hundred percent!!

but i think it is also really important to build something on that ... people who always hang around with the same people all the time don't grow ...
you have to meet new one's, strangers, to enrich your life, to get to know other lifestyles, to exchange ideas and to experience what life has to offer:
a lot of interesting and great human beings!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

couchsurfing is not just about travelling becoming so much more easier (although it really gets easier) or a free bed ...
it's about what people can learn through it!!
and the thing that i learned through couchsurfing, is to trust people, even when they are strangers!!
i believe that by encouraging people to visit my home, fears will break and trust gets built between strangers.
i want people to have no fear of each other and learn to trust, because this is the type of world that I would like to live in!!

Interests

as i already mentioned, my life is pretty much about living it ... i love everything that has got to do with real life and its varieties!!
that doesn't mean that i'm seeking adventures and adrenalin all the time - not at all!!
although travelling is something like my favourite lifestyle, to keep the fresh breeze to breath alive, i also think that life is about the small things: being at home, nice discussions, a cold beer, a good movie, an amazing concert, a night in the town, a well written book, a night with love, a great song, a touching poem ... all that kind of stuff :)

all in all i am a really calm and unhurried guy, looking for truth and love by seeking human interactions!!!
