"Life is not a problem to be solved, it's a mystery to be lived."

Biologist and nature lover who left Germany to hitchhike and sail around the world. I decided to see and enjoy every part of world and live fully as long as i can.
I would desribe myself as a calm, clean person who is not much into partying and more into having good and rich conversations and really listening to other people.
I am a heterosexual man, not that it makes any difference in regard to friendship but i found it necessary to include this information in my profile.
After travelling around the world for more than two years i am starting to settle in europe.
Currently i am really into mindfulness and quite astonished by the benefits it has brought me in my life so far after living more than a year in plum village monastery in southern france.
Currently i am doing my permaculture diploma and settling into nature education and alternative ways of education.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In order to leave my comfort zone, to explore the world and to connect with like minded people, that would otherwise not have been possible.
Sharing experiences and different view point on life and exploring how other people live.
And more than that to share my part of life and really listen to other people on their point of view on life.
