I am a Berlin-based feverish traveller who visits every unesco site a country can offer if.....time allows...........if money allows.....if feasible...if...public transport..if....if....if.

I speak german,english and spanish. I have a decent command of italian,and have a basic knowledge of czech,portuguese,and french. 

I love to drink a beer with friends,meet people from all over the world,pick up words in foreign languages,watch tv series in different languages,go to the movies,ride a bike in the  countryside,and plan my next travel as well as reading a book of my favourite author Jack Vance.

 

Thanks to this wonderful website my love for the wonders of our world has become a kind of mild obsession. 

 

 

My most impressive site: Petra/Potsdam/Jerusalem/Wachau/Angkor Wat

My proposal for a new site: 5 communist prisons in Romania(tentative whs) and three prisons in Germany( Hohenscheonhausen,Cottbus and Bautzen)
