24 years old student from Bonn, Germany. I'm graduating in English Studies and Philosophy, which means I'll either end up as a rich and recognised author or driving cabs...At least that's what my friends tell me! Regardless of that I want to meet new people and travel foreign places. On the one hand, I'm quite the physical guy who enjoys nearly every sport and long night outs, on the other hand I don't mind spending a day in the bed, watching films or reading a decent novel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Taking a flight to an unknown place and staying in some overpriced hotel, sipping cocktails at some fancy bar might be delightful for some people but it's definitely not my way of exploring a foreign country. In my opinion there is no realer experience than living at a local's place and maybe even forming new friendships.

Interests

Sports, art, literature, music. Throw me a ball and you'll probably mistake me for a golden retriever. I love art, especially expressionism. Books are irreplaceable in my life. I still think of novels which I read years ago and I'm constantly amazed by the impact they have on me. I think people should trash their TVs and read more.
