Hey there, I'm a German fellow. I'm usually a pretty calm and relaxed guy, unless I get a beer to much :-) I like going to music festivals, traveling, camping, traveling around and of course going out for a tasty beer. I also like doing sports such as jogging, skiing, snowboarding and martial arts. I'm a passionate software engineer, therefore I love coding, though not when I'm traveling. I like extraordinary situations, which make me feel alive.

I hope to see you folks and to have a good time with you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get closer to the places I visit. I want to find open-minded people out there with which I can have conversations, day trips and party. Basically, I want to share thoughts, experiences and good times.

Music, Movies, and Books

My preferred music is metal, especially on festivals. I like action and science fiction movies, but also other genres. When it comes to books, it varies strongly. One of my favourites is definitely Siddhartha, written by Hermann Hesse.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

First, I've heard the ice of Iceland's Vatnajökull Glacier cracking, due to its movement towards the coast, while I've been waiting together with a friend for the Northern lights.
Second, I travelled from my home town in Germany to Hong Kong by bus and train. Took me three month :-) See my travel diary if you're interested: https://www.polarsteps.com/aboger

Teach, Learn, Share

I like conversations about pretty much everything, not only about my interests. I like to share things, especially when traveling together. I like to learn things that make me reflect on myself and make me think about my life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Party nights, up to 30km runs if we didn't drink the night before, travel experiences. Loud and silent moments, hopefully deep thoughts about ourselves.
