About Me

Computer guy, who talks sometimes a lot about wierd stuff.
But don't be afraid I am also able to do a normal conversation.

I run a small internet company focusing on student IT support.
So I meet a lot of different people from different countries during my work.

I am defnitly not open minded but willing to ignore open minds. (My brain still kept falling out) *haha*

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION:

NO COUCH ON:
Aug. 4-20
Sep 1-3,15-17

To increase your chance for my couch:

- Find out my name. It's not "Hello", "Hey" or "Hi"
- Don't ask me more than 2-3 days in advance (I will decline as I can't plan my work times ahead)
- You have hosted people at your home (feed the system)
- You are NOT a girl group below age of 25 as I was bored most time (I will ask for group sex if you request anyway! (just kidding))
- Your profile should be more than "joined yesterday" and "open minded about everything"
- If I have the feeling you haven't read my profile I just will click "No" without further discussion as it cost me a lot of time to answer up to 10 copy&paste requests a day during main season.

Most of my weekends are busy, as I have a 900km long distance relationship. I decided not to host on these weekends as we had some time consuming trouble with some surfers killing our short weekends.

I have to check my emails often during daytime. So there is a big change to be hosted instantly if you send a request.

I am a non smoker and expect you to smoke on my balcony.

Please note that, I work at uncommon times and like to go to bed late. Sometimes I work even at night or on weekend.

If I have time, I can show you around.

Interests

My biggest hobby got my job by now ... so be aware of a lot computers and cables in my place.

I like to travel a lot by bike and still refuse to buy a car.

I travel (oh really?) a lot around with my backpack, especialy inside germany, because a lot of friends and even my girlfriend have moved to different cities after thier studies.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: lots of Fantasy and SciFi stuff. As you can see I do like the character Rincewind by Terry Prattchet.

Music: It depends on my mood. Normaly I don't like mainstream music but listen to all kinds from techno/electro to medival music. I hate most kinds of Jazz.

Movies: I like sort of good SciFi Movies, documentary style movies. But I also enjoy experimental movies with subtitles in small cinemas.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To name one as VERY amazing is not good. But there were nice people I ran into.

Crocodile watching at midnight in the mexican jungle with a local fisherman after a thunderstorm who tried to pick up my girlfriend some hours before *haha*

Meeting a mad 74 year old hippie in a San Francisco hostel who told me about the roots of all couchsurfing (mail subscribed printed phone number lists in the 60's)

Got drunk with the US military police off duty on a couchsurfing farewall party in some US army barracks (not on US soil).

Got forced into a wet suit by a Finnish CS host I have met 3 hours before and got droped out of his boat into the 14C baltic sea 2 km in front of the shoreline.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well ... I am good at computer and Internet stuff.
NO, I will not fix your computer! ... Well maybe ... :)

I am a complete loser at languages. Perhaps someone will try teach me spanish. For different reasons I understand a lot when listening, but I can not speak anything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I sleep at your place and consume your time and money :)

But mostly I will have some goodie with me or I invite you for a diner as I am an incredible bad cook.
