About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Keep pedaling". Not to be mistaken for "keep struggling". Try to find an occupation, that is believed and felt to be worth the trouble.

ABOUT ME

Pittying those who have a favorite TV show und believe it is life to share time in front of the TV not experiencing anything.
Update: replace "TV" by "internet".

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard. Play hard, 'cause pain is temporary, glory is forever!
Be open to any new experience and never stop exploring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At present I can't promise to have a spare place as my room is fairly small.
But anyway, get in touch and we see were we get and what we can do.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Got into CS while meeting CS's on a bonfire in California. Made amazing friends and met fun people during several other occasions surfing and just meeting people thru CS.

Interests

All kinds of outdoors like hiking, cycling, camping.
Sports in general.
Love listening to live music, maybe not big events, prefer small clubs, unknown bands, which might rock your socks of or hurt your ears.
I am a curious person, so I like meeting people and like to learn new things. Don't judge anything before you haven't tried it! As long as it's legal. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

It is kinda hard to list all of them here.
I do not like to specify on single scheme or topic here. I have a good sense of humor, the ability to enjoy serious movies, to be interested in informational screenings, all kind of stuff that swirls around the broadcasting and screening world. It is the same with books and music.
Okay, you must realize, that the book / movie / music was done with passion, interest, maybe a loving for details, and hard work.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rode the bicycle around the North Sea Cycle Route in 2003, from Vancouver, B.C. to L.A. in 1998 and other, smaller tours. Dug a snow camp in 6ft deep snow on New Years eve at -20centigrade with friends and enjoyed it. And to be honest: I have no idea if these and more other things are amazing! It is fun, I enjoy it, love the feeling of being free and outdoors.

Teach, Learn, Share

There is no specific topic I would like to teach or learn. Maybe it is just the way of living, that we could / should learn from others. See how they get along, find new interesting aspects or ways of thinking through other people and become or stay happy with whatever you do.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, France, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Slovenia, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
