About Me

If I write down here too much, I think that the upcoming talk will be too boring, but anyway.
Although I have dreadlocks, i do not listen to reaggae very often, as well as I do not smoke at all. I'm a lively person, who likes to talk, to meet new people and to play boardgames (sometimes I can listen as well ;) ). If you give me a riddle or say that I can't solve or do something, I'll try to do it, just because you said that I can't.
I like to bet, especially about lasagna, my favourite food and internationality is a great thing! Furthermore i am a "logic-vegetarian", if you want to know what that is, ask me :P
Also I used to be in a church and used to be a youth-pastor, but right now I am agnostic.
Keeping contact over the internet is very hard for me, I really prefer to talk to someone in the real world, even phone calls are kind of annoying xD

Philosopyhy:
I eat so I am (hail Bud Spencer ;) )
No, indeed the golden rule of the bible is the thing I agree with the most.
Moreover, try to be childlike but not childish!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like this idea of non-capitalistic hospitality. Here are so many open-minded people that are worth to know (well actually every person is worth to know). Besides, I received so many things from people I don't even had known before such that I want to give back something and at least offer my home and my time for people who are in need or just want to have some fun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The starry sky in Kyrgyzstan on the pass to Talas, you could see the milky way and every second a shooting star

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: the answer to the question why arrogance is better than an inferiority complex, some magic tricks, basics for some instruments, being a pro-gamer :D, and of course all the stuff I learn at university

Learn: since mostly everything can be found in the web, especially on wikipedia, I am more curious to learn things that need practice and a good teacher, like e.g. making music, juggling or martial arts

Share: Yeah, I like open-source projects and the GNU-license. Everything should be free :)
