Hi there
It's me, Karsten, 28. Since a few month I am living in the beautiful city of Dresden. Due to Corona I had to interrupt my hitchhiking journey around the world while I was in Dresden. Then I fell in love with the city, the people here and one speciall person. So I will stay here and currently I am figuring out what this new phase in my life is about.

Since I experienced a lot of help and hospitality on my journey by a lot of people and especially the CS community I decided to give something back and start to host.

A little bit abou my self:

brother of two, twin of one, frequent carrier of my backpack, talkative creator of nonsense, lively debating amateur politician, almost full time keeper of the good mood, snobby connoisseur of excellent booze, self ironic over thinker of everything, proud resident of a green tent, mover and shaker of my feet, highly motivated collector of fresh air in the wild, self-declared good mixer of a Negroni, enormously creative interpreter of punctuality, a commonly socializing gambling man, curious listener of stories movies and music, a poor teacher, optimistic dreamer of a better world, slightly shortened version of Viking look alike.

Due to my prior occupation in the booze Industry, when I learned to really value a good dram, I can teach you some things about wine, Cocktails and can take you to some nice booze guzzling places in town.

Cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I was travelling through the US I made some great couchsurfing experiences by chance and got familar with a great idea of traveling.

I got in touch with many very interesting people and made some of my best travel experiences.
And I hope there are a thousand more to come.

And now it is time to host :)
