CURRENT MISSION

Making the world a better place, of course...

ABOUT ME

I am currently enrolled at Goethe University in Frankfurt, majoring in philosophy and history. Since it is not self-evident nowadays, I have to add that studying is what I do in the first place. I study philosophy, because I have a genuine interest in analyzing complex philosophical problems and critically challenge existing systems and orders. I appreciate living in a society that allows me develop intellectually, but I'm still trying to figure out how to usefully apply theoretical knowledge to the "real world" and contribute to a more emancipated society. To cut a long story short: I'm not yet sure what i'm going to do with a degree in philosophy. Fortunately, I have 6 more semesters to make up my mind. However, I am convinced that meeting new people from different places with different perspectives will help me along that way and that is one great reason for me to participate in couchsurfing.

Interests

I played basketball with quite some ambitions until I realized (some time after high school), that there may be more important things in life. But after all I'm still a sportive type of guy. Since I do not have pressure to perform anymore, I like to engage in almost any kind of physical activity, from hiking or cycling to riding the "Ripstik" (check it out :))

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the summer of 2011 I cycled from Passau to Belgrade using couchsurfing to stay in the bigger cities along my way. Apart from other great things this trip got me involved in the cosmopolitan society of couchsurfers.
