Hello couchsurfing friends,

I'm Tassilo, born and raised in Munich. However, I've been always interested in traveling and discover different cultures around the world. So I stayed for one year in Beijing, China as an exchange student. I visited many European and Asian countries. In my opinion the most important experience while being abroad is to make friends with the people and to get to know their culture. When I don't study law, I play the sax and listen to jazz music. I also like activities in the nature as hiking, skiing or sailing.

I'm looking forward to meet you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stayed in Thailand for two weeks in a silent monastery (http://www.suanmokkh-idh.org/). The first days struggled with the new circumstances. We got up at 4 am (but went to bed at 9 pm) and received only 2 meals basic vegetarian meals per day. Most of the day we silently sat on our knees meditating. I got used to this and my meditation practice became more focused day per day. After all I realized some important thoughts I always had in my mind, but I never acknowledged them. No wonder! When do you have the time in real life to sit down for two weeks and just to be mindful about yourself?
