About Me

Working class hero - addicted to nature and van life.

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to be not on a mission :-) ........ just act spontaneously!

ABOUT ME

Chaotic, endearing, childish, psychotic, moody, honest,
loyal, skeptical, romantic, pragmatic, unique, sometimes too good and too stupid for this world....... and many more characteristics, find it out yourself! :-)

Still trying to find my "place" in this world, sometimes just lost in it.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to smile at least once a day......and being there for friends and people. And never try to convince someone that your philosophy is better than his/hers.

Nothing in the world is more important than being healthy, content, enjoying live, having good friends and a family as stronghold.

Chasing for money and career is nothing for me. Also I think one should not compare too much with others what he/she owns or achieved, here misfortune begins.....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment being a good host for people and couch surfing as well..... that should do for the beginning :-))

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I consider myself still being an absolute beginner / bloody greenhorn, although I do it for many years already.
To describe my experiences until now, I would give 11 points out of 10 :-). Nice surfers, charming hosts, relaxed travelers. Also communicating with the people on CS is an easy going thing.....
....so, as Nike would say "Just do it" (c) by Nike
