About Me

At the moment (if we are not travelling) I live with my girlfriend and our daughter in a flat in Leipzig South City Center. I may decide on the date if i host you in my parents village house or city depending on your dates and my plans that date ;)

ABOUT ME

I fell in love with languages and traveling in England!I went there because of work. After my time in the UK I decided to learn Spanish too for a warmer change and started as a Translation student for English and Spanish and finished successfully! After more traveling around the world I am back in Leipzig and very happy to give the great hospitality back to other travelers!

PHILOSOPHY

Tourists don't know where they've been, travelers don't know where they're going. (Paul Theroux)

Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.(James Dean)

Wo man singt da lass¸ dich ruhig nieder, boese Menschen haben keine Lieder. (Johann Gottfried Seume)

Busch, Wilhelm (1832-1908)
Viel zu spaet begreifen viele die versaeumten Lebensziele:
Freude, Schoenheit der Natur, Gesundheit, Reisen und Kultur,
Darum, Mensch, sei zeitig weise!
Hoechste Zeit ist's! Reise, reise!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

seeing the first sun on earth from Mt. Warning near Byron Bay on the east coast of Australia after a 2h climbing walk at 4 in the morning...(and stumbling over a big diamond python on the way back :-)
Well... the white pointer in Esperance (WA) is a different story :S (I didn´t have a cage)

During a work trip I could join the 3 pilots of a B777 for starting and landing in the cockpit and on the way back from Hongkong a B747very cooool !

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach German if someone needs to learn this strange language ;) and I share what needs to be shared, we can start with some funny travelling stories, life, love, lust :)
