Personal Description

فلورین
Good bye Berlin and hello brave new world!
I am at the moment touring the world to Australia without taking planes.
My route will lead me over Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India, Nepal, China, Laos, Thailand, Indonesia and finally Australia.

I play obsessively guitar and piano.
I am good in something called Ruby on Rails.
This is my Blog
And this is my taste of music: last.fm
I founded Hitchlog.com

_:_musician_:_

I am playing guitar since I was 15 and since 2006 I started to teach myself piano. I love music and I cannot live without it. and if my arms are gone and if my legs are cut and if my ears are deaf and if my sight is blind, there will still be music in my head.

:flov => 'loves code in ruby'
For all the geeks around, this is my Github profile

Interests

art, men and women and animals, wierdos, hitchhiking, reading Charles Bukowski, sitting on grass, drinking wine, chewing picks, authenticity, feeling real, honesty, geeks, mathematics, the neo-human, internet, time scaling evolution, crescendos, passion, time lapses, flipping coins and rolling dices and then:

move yourself like you were never told to...

Philosophy

let down
the decisive moment in a career is always there, as career is meaningless, it is all about the play, so "play", do everything besides and let the world take a look at you... look away from yourself and Lead yourself into seduction.

The world is a book and those who don't travel only read one page
Saint Augustine

What seems to us catastrophe, his spirit experiences as a secret victory
Knut Hamsun

sheathe your sword
Come
Sheathe your sword
Let’s go to bed together
Mount my bed
And mix
The magic works of love
Will breed big trust between us.
"Homer, The Odyssey"

Hitchhiking:
The idea is to remain in a constant state of departure while always arriving. It saves on introductions and good-byes.
hitchhiking animates people to discard their prejudices on others and therefor has to be encouraged.

El Hombre Superior
el hombre superior es un niño y un gran bailarín, porque el niño no tiene prejuicios, es inocente, juega con la vida solamente, y el bailarín hace del juego un riesgo permanente, se pasea por la cuerda floja del devenir, hace de su vida un continuo experimentarse a sí mismo.

Music, Movies, Books

I can enjoy a wide variety of music.
I always keep an open ear for new music.

I LOVE POST-ROCK
I LOVE ELECTRONICs
I LOVE JAZZ TRIO
I LOVE SOLO PIANO
I LOVE SINGERSONGWRITER
Last.FM Profile

Types of People I enjoy

people who are enjoyable

Teach, Learn, Share

It would be nice if I could teach you:
- guitar, piano (if you want to learn guitar i can teach you the basics and give you some lessons)
- develop a website using ruby on rails (which is more exciting than it sounds, you can also get the short tour why)
- hitchhiking (I can give you tips and tell you of former trips which i am going to do anyway, or you can also join me on a hitchhiking trip)
- solving the rubik's cube in less than 4 minutes
- solving the rubik's revenge in less than 10 minutes
- german, spanish, english (I don't have any book to teach you, but maybe I can get one, would be great if you had one though)
- How to swim (it's my favorite sport which keeps me up and sportive)
- Lots of geeky stuff (if you're a geek and I'm a geek, we're already a match, i bet all the geeks can learn from each other by showing off what they can do on the computer)

It would be nice if you could teach me:
- photography
- how to cope with the unknown on a daily basis (if you have tips they are highly welcome)
- to play more music instruments (seriously, please teach me the basics, Im a quick learner ;)
- Sailing (even though I already know how to sail, it would be great to archive a bigger proficiency)
- how to prepare raw food properly (ranging from raw meet to raw chocolate, to anything that is really healthy.)
- cooking (teach me how to cook your favourite meal or something that is good and very cheap)
- languages (would be great if you can teach me with a book, the basic grammar for example)
- how to live cheap (teach me how dumpster diving works at your place, how to avoid spending money on unnecessary things)

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

- a grasshopper that exploded in the midst of a daydream i once head
- Once I wanted to hitchhike to Edinburgh and instead of drinking beer in a pub I ended up dancing around a fire for 6 hours without drinking nor eating during an ancient native american ceremony.

What do these numbers mean?

This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.

In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.

When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you.
