Hello there
My name is Alex and I live in Hamburg, Germany, studying Sinology as my major. I have just finished my semester in Chengdu, China and am now travelling in and around China.
Im always curious to experience other places, countries and cultures, see new beautiful natural scenery and eat good food!

I consider myself as nonbinary = no particular gender and if I like a person, I like them for who they are, no matter what gender. That doesn't mean though that I am open for anything, quite the contrary.
Even though this is not something that defines me as a person, I'd like to clear that up to avoid awkward situations.
What I believe is that a person's personality is like a rainbow, with lots of different colours. Even though we might not like every colour, we have to accept every one, in ourselves and in others. So I value respect above everything else.

Another point is that because I still live together with my family I can't offer a place to sleep. But I still would be excited to meet up!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to see different places and get to know people, especially from other countries and cultures! I want to know more about people and cultural differences and my biggest dream is to travel around the whole world!

~ classic
~ 50s to 80s (e.g. Michael Jackson, Bee Gees, Pink Floyd, Queen, Simon and Garfunkel, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix)
~ Post-grunge like Nirvana, Our Last Night, Shinedown

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love languages and learning new things so I know bits and pieces in various fields which I can share with you! I can take interest in every kind of area, be it culture, languages, science, politics, arts,... - so I'll also be always a good listener. :D

If you are eager, I also can teach you some German or basics for instruments like piano and singing cuz I really love music, singing and playing instruments❤🎶🎤🎧 (doesn't automatically mean I'm good in playing them though :D)

Also I can cook German cuisine for you if I get all the ingredients around your place! I'm not a star cook though, but I think it tastes fine xD
