Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Getting the hang of vietnamese cuisine and how I can make myself vegetarien versions of it. Discovering the most simple but delicious recipes and the right place for my potential dream café.
Right now, a large shared house close to Porto (Portugal) would be the right place, but I won't stop searching.
Another idea is to travel one cheese producing farmer to the next all over the world to collect all the "cheesy techniques" there are.
ABOUT ME
It's all about people and reality. Places, names, worries, social pressure... this is all artificial and we can only overcome this by talking. That's why I actually don't like the CS movement of having to write an entire CV in your request. If you wanna get to know someone, you start to talk to him instead of reading an application.
It means so much to me to just talk to people. I do not like missed chances and hence I'd like a closer look into everything and everyone. I hate it that time and 1.000.000 cool things to learn don't allways allow it.
If you need a place in Kiel, just write me a short message. I do not need a full application. Of course, I also decide on an unexplainable sympathy basis, but I'm happy for every request and I'll consider and respond to them all.
I like it uncomplicated. I don't have a lot of demands and I try not to expect too much as I found out that life is much more fun if it exceeds your expectations.
I'm living in Kiel in a shared flat with 9 other people and we're trying to make our way to sustainable living. Next to dumpsterdiving, foodsharing, gardening and composting our garbage, we always have new ideas for some new things to try or something to build. I love having so many people and impulses around.
PHILOSOPHY
more excentrism
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm a people's person. I always need someone around me. I feel that it is impossible to waste time as soon as there's another person with me.
Meeting new people is even better as there's so much to learn and to be fascinated about. Furthermore, I love the alternative livestyle and I like to see places through the eyes of friendly people that are willing to share their experiences and cool places love.
I like to give others to the chance to experience germany through me the same way.
