,,Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags.'' - Ben Howard - Old Pine

___________

After a year of constant travelling around the globe, my girlfriend and I have now (at least for the time being) settled down in a lovely flat in Fredenbeck, which is a lovely village close to Stade (and therefore not far away from Hamburg). So if you want to either visit Stade or even Hamburg don't hesitate to hit me/us up! We'd love to have you around!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.”
― Christopher McCandless -> "Into the Wild"

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a real music enthusiast (although my ability to play an instrument is limited to approximately 6 chords that I can play on the guitar)! I've been to hundreds of concerts and festivals and my girlfriend (and other friends) often complain that I can't really sit around in silence without a tune in the background.

I'm into all kind of genres so just a few of my favourite bands/artitsts to give you an idea: The Gaslight Anthem, Biffy Clyro, Brand New, Parkway Drive, Chuck Ragan, William Fitzsimmons, Bon Iver, Xavier Rudd, Bruce Springsteen, ...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ran my first marathon in 2016 without proper training, thought I had learned my lesson, signed up for the second one, trained even less, partied way too much before the race, suffered horribly on race day but somehow made it to the finish line again!
