About Me

CURRENT MISSION

move to trustroots.org

ABOUT ME

I am very easy going person, open minded, outgoing and usually get along with everybody. I like to meet many new people, talk to them, get to know different cultures -> so the regular couchsurfer stuff...

I dig travelling, especially hitchhiking. Hitchhiking always fascinated me and more and more I try to hitchhike as often as possible :)
Unusual places are more attractive, than the five star bullshit!
Catch me on the road or host me if it is possible :)

PHILOSOPHY

I go by the most general principle:
do unto others as you would have them do unto you

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime" - Mark Twain

"€œWe only hate the results of people. But people, Henry, aren't just results. They're a process. And to really give them a break we have to judge the process through which they became the result we see when we say So-and-so is a heel. Now the world is full of people hating each other people’s guts. Okay. Now, Henry, answer me this, what if each of them took the time to go down to Rivington Street - I mean each person's personal Rivington Street? We would begin to have compassion in the world."
What makes Sammy run? -€“ Budd Schulberg

"The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends." -€ Shirley MacLaine
