STEPHAN SAUERBURGER Annapolis, MD, USA
ABOUT MEI discovered early on that I was unwilling to settle for an ordinary life or work for someone else. My vegan restaurant and cafe in Tokyo have provided an excuse to travel now and then, as well as the freedom to moonlight in other pursuits such as spreading animal rights and welfare to the world. I love my parents and would come back from around the world to take care of them at the drop of a hat if they needed me to. My life is a story that keeps getting wilder, and I'll take a downswing over a sure thing any day.I lost a needle in a hay stack once and found it. My carpet vacuums itself. Every day is my lucky day. I'm 5'11" on paper but 6'4" when you tickle me. I have more fun than my childhood friends, except when they are having a LOT of fun. Nine out of ten doctors agree that at least one dose of me per week causes increased levels of dopamine. They also agree that one out of ten doctors is an idiot. I hate fantasies because they always come true. A horse led me to water once, but I refused to drink because she didn't say please. I don't pay attention to fashion because it is always a step behind. Cats and dogs pet me. When I'm at the beach I tend to do a lot of shoal searching. Never mind half-full; for me the glass is flowing over the brim. Charlie Sheen takes winning lessons from me. I had an awkward moment once - just to know what it felt like. When you meet me, the pleasure will be all yours. PHILOSOPHYDo it early and fail faster. Regrets come not from that which I failed at but that to which I didn't give a chance.HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFINGWith two spare bedrooms near Annapolis, I've hosted people from as far as Tokyo looking to check out DC. In my adventure-binges I much prefer boats, trains and couchsurfing with new friends to airplanes, hotels and tourist packages.COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCEWhile I've hosted and been hosted by international friends I met the old fashioned way in over a dozen countries before finding this site, I now open myself to new possibilities.InterestsEntrepreneurism, traditional art, psychology, modern and ancient history.animals pets cats dogs arts books fashion causes vegan drinking traveling biology history psychology beaches Music, Movies, and BooksFrank Herbert, Shakespeare, Quentin Tarantino.
