About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Looking forward to meet some great people from wherever

ABOUT ME

I should ask somebody else to write this. Outgoing, optimist, love humorous people. I love living and never want to stop learning. And.... partying, festivals, concerts, art, pubs, beaches and oceans, soccer, music, travelling and meeting humorous and special people.
I play in band which I love very much. Sports? Yeah, snowboarding & windsurfing.

PHILOSOPHY

I always try to experience the world with open eyes and an open mind. It is most rewardful to meet other people and learn from their perspective.
Life is a very limited time so I am trying to find my very own path.
After all - be yourself is all that you can do (thanx to Chris Cornell & Audioslave!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not yet. I just arrived.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was lucky enough to meet a lot of great people on my journeys. Still, that was in times before I discovered CouchSurfing. Now I am excited to see how it works out here.

Interests

Filming and photography not just as a job. Performing live gigs with my band Doctor Love Power. Visiting small independent concerts and other alternative cultural events. Being at live games of my favorite soccer club FC St. Pauli. Travelling, oh yes - definitely. Whenever I get to do it.
