ABOUT ME

I AM ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS! I sometimes go out on the street and shout that. It helps;)

Seriously, what makes it so hard to describe oneself? Maybe the fact, that we dont like to be labelled and put into boxes? Maybe the fact, that our being varies chameleon-like depending on the surrounding and the people we hang out with? Well, we all know that we are not this or that, that we are a source of energy beyond words living in a world of energy beyond words.
Anyway, this is a profile, so here is some description that suits me I guess: I am an open-minded person, a relatively freed spirit. Some say that I have a sense of humour and then I always tell them how right they are!
I am relatively intellectual and entertaining. But in the end I am just a speaking monkey, that tries to walk upright - like you, probably.

PHILOSOPHY

Show your crazy. Find your flows and go with them. Create your very own value and belief system . World peace begins within your mind.

Genuine questions create genuine people.

We are all somehow messengers. So no need to evangelize. I dont fancy closed belief systems. There has to be a little hole in it, so it can breathe!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host. And I prost!

I host people for ONE OR TWO NIGHTS.

I PREFER PEOPLE WHO WRITE PERSONAL COUCH REQUESTS. DID YOU ACTUALLY READ MY PROFILE? OH, REALLY? WOW! THAT MAKES ME WANT TO READ YOUR PROFILE TOO!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experiences range from interesting , to really inspiring!

Interests

I am a lover of nature. I am an outdoor addict as long as it isnt cold. I wont take cold anymore. Thats one of the main reasons I travel actually. I love conversations, especially if they surprise me or if there is a sense of honesty or a sense of playfulness. Honest playfulness is what I practice actually.
I like writing, which means that I like fighting with my inner critique - especially when I beat him up. Otherwise I am a peaceful addict of harmony.

Music, Movies, and Books

YES,YES AND YES! I would have a hard time to list all the movies, songs and texts I happily consumed. Above all I would have to do a kind of ranking, which I dont like in general and especially when it comes to art.
But I love music that makes me move and movies that entertain and inspire me as well as books with an original language and a specific voice. I think art is one of the (not soooo many) things, that mankind can really be proud of.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I diracted one feature film and 20 short movies.
- I exploded artistically within a big house on the countryside and filled it with more than 100 pouring-pieces .
- When I was 20 I did a bicycle trip from Hamburg to Istanbul. Afterwards I travelled half a year through India and Nepal. That was a great trip and also a kind of initiation for me.
- Swimming Adventures (river and country crossing)
- taking THC to a higher level, by using the trip for artistic/creative process = psychedelic filming
-I founded the psychedelic platform of parallel germany and we got censured/erased from Facebook!

-psychedelic filming,
