##################################
I'm very busy these days, so will not be hosting or be very active in the community right now - sorry!
I'll be back! ;-)
##################################
After moving into my new flat in Mainz-Kastel I'm ready to host again - welcome!
BTW, the couch (and my friends) from the picture are still the same, just a different apartment now.
Check out the couch info and my profile and when contacting me make sure to express why you would like to stay with me, please.
As I'm enjoying the personal experience of couchsurfing I like to get to know you as a person. That means with my busy schedules a stay of about 3 days is the perfect timeframe to get the chance to chat or do stuff together.

Interests
travelling, Psychology (ENTJ), American Football (Frankfurt Galaxy), future influence of virtual reality / social webs, scuba diving, salsa, photography, going out dancing
Philosophy
"Carpe diem!", "Give more than you get", "There is always something good in something bad", "Ying-Yang", "Measure yourself by the people that measure themselves on you", "Live to Learn"
Music, Movies, Books
80s music forever! + classic rock + some trance

Types of People I enjoy
funny and uncomplicated, tolerant of others while knowing their own values and goals
Teach, Learn, Share
Whatever I know I enjoy to teach to willing learners. When I do not learn, I get bored - so I try to do it all the time. I love to share & exchange - anything really.
Personal Note: Vouching is an important security measure of this site but people vouch (or don't vouch) for different reasons. Personally I do it rarely and vouch only for people that put an extraordinary effort into the CS community (often involving taking on financial risk when organizing events).
Please don't ask me to vouch for you. And please don't be concerned if I don't vouch for you even if we are good friends or you vouched for me.
Also, I need to know you personally for a while to accept friends on CS as well - again no reason for concern, I most likely still enjoyed meeting you! :-)
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.
I met Freddy in Sydney at a couple of CS gatherings. He later hosted me in in Frankfurt. He was really kind and helpful during my stay. You are welcome where ever I am!

Met freddy in CS meeting in Mainz.He is very friendly and accomodating person and easy to talk to.Could not spend more time with him but really enjoyed small conversation about "Mumbai train travel".Hope to meet you again Buddy.
Really it was a great pleasure to meet Freddy at our Breakfast Meeting in Wiesbaden. He is very openminded and energetic CS-guy. I had a very interesting talk with him. I am sure we will have some common meetings in the future. Yes!
Nice, generous, sweet, great sense of humour, this is the definition of Freddy. Always ready to go somewhere or visit something, drink, have fun, engage in associations... Just meet him!
Freddy really did a lot to make my first year here in Sydney a positive one. He's warm and welcoming and puts people immediately at ease.

Freddy was fantastic! I felt instantly comfortable around him... he was super helpful, funny, and an instant friend. Although I couldn't convince him to come with me, he directed me to a superb salsa night... in his defense, it was raining, late, and involved sprinting to catch the train :). I highly recommend surfing with or hosting him!
We spent short time togheter because when i arrived in Sydney he was going to leave, that's a piety because i would have liked to have more time to spend with him!
hope to see you again
Freddy is not only a great person to talk to and or organize some great travel activities with, but he is also a real CS ambassador. He gave me many ideas what to do in Sydney and took me to all activities with the CS community, who was really welcoming. He's a wonderful host and a great example for active contribution within the CS Project, a must-meet for anybody who is new to CS!
