CURRENT MISSION

I will go to the US, NY and LA from September to December

ABOUT ME

I have no clue what my friends would say. Actually my friends are very different form each other and I know them from very different places. So what would I write into the friends-book of my niece? Or the other way round? I think my niece thinks that I am cool. At least she said once that I am cooler than her mother (though I doubt that). Maybe you just switch on to the point where I tell you what interests me.

PHILOSOPHY

I still need some more years for having a personal philosophy. though I like the idea of having seven books bearing the title: my personal philosophy. but I have to do some other things first.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I look for a place in NY and LA

Interests

Poetry; thoughts that are new to me; catching a wave or just watching the sea; giving a perfectly timed assist in a football game; meeting somebody that opens a new horizon to me and beeing with that beautiful friends and family who somehow manage to do that unbelievably frequently.

I spend most of my days thinking about and producing arts, working as a waiter, making photos, going out, talk and drinking beer, dancing, loving to cook, traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

just one: duck-diving under a wave and seeing the rainbow in the mist when you come out on the other side, the wave breaking behind you (oooh, this sounds really kitsch). most of my best moments are not made for a short description on the internet.
