ABOUT ME

My walking speed depends on the rhythm of the music i'm listening to.
I can ride a unicycle. (at least i could some years ago. If you have a unicycle i would be reeeeally happy to figure out if i can still ride it!)
I can't cook... like... not at all. i'm working on it. rice is my worst enemy...
When i get drunk it can happen that i spontaniously do a cartwheel.
I sometimes confuse myself with the words i'm ... ahm... what?
please don't talk to me about brands or beauty items. i neither know nor care.
talk to me about pokemon instead.
(I got my so far-only real sunburn in DUBLIN!!) .... and then I stayed in Sicily for a month and ruined this ironic statement... damn it!

PHILOSOPHY

I guess life's about having and giving as many happy moments as possible and making sure that the future generations have the same chances on a happy life as well :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like the idea and the couchsurfing community. Travellers should help each other out!

Interests

I love to listen and to play music. I can play the guitar and ukulele.
I like reading, watching good movies or just hilarious youtube videos.
and of course, as it should be on this site my one big passion is travelling and learning as much as possible while doing so.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hm... zip-lining in croatia, backpacking Europe, driving a scooter in the crazy traffic of Shanghai, making street music, getting a lift into the jungle of south China from a rice truck, convincing a hostel receptionist to let us sleep in the living room for a night

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to solve the rubics cube (if you bring one.... mine has been destroyed by attention-seeking kids. still not sure if the missing piece has been swallowed or just stolen)

AND I can teach you some chords on the guitar and the ukulele and -of course- some of my beautiful (SCHMETTERLING!!!) native language German.
