I am a journalist and independent filmmaker, I like being on the road, seeing new things and being surprised, but above all I like people and how diffent they are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I got into the Couchsurfing verve during a 4-months stay in Latin America in 2007 and was amazed by the caring and easygoing people I met everywhere. Since then, I have also had some Couchsurfing guests - mainly people whose couch I had surfed before and who visited me in return. Always great to meet Couchsurfing friends again!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the most remarkable one is finding awesome, groovy, contemplative, shining, singing, silent, down-to-earth, detached - in one word: INSPIRING people in every place I have lived in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

... I can tell you looooots of stories about the different German mentalities
... I can teach you our beautiful language, but only if you won't blame me for the complicate grammar and the weird pronunciation
... I can teach you how to milk a cow and all the other stuff that you need to survive in the pampa of Southern Germany, because that's where I was raised

...and I would like to learn/experience: any kind of foreign language (quechua, dutch or portuguese) and being able to survive (at least a little bit) in the jungle
