Hey there, folks! 👋

I'm a 28-year-old guy coming from the stunning countryside of South Bavaria, where fairy tale castles like Neuschwanstein reign supreme, and the Alps provide the perfect backdrop for hiking and adventure. Currently iam living in the rainy but cozy north of Germany knee-deep in Japanese studies and international management where i was also able to study, live and work for a year in rural and metropolitan Japan. Why the fascination with Japanese? How about i tell u a story when we meet :)

Now, why am i back on CS ? :)
Weeeeell after travelling around the globe for a couple of years, covid hit and i started studying and now iam longing for those heart-to-heart connections, especially during the pandemic-induced slowdown. I miss the buzz of meeting new faces, trying exotic foods, and diving headfirst into uncharted territories. So, I'm back on Couchsurfing for another round of unforgettable experiences!

Sure, I might have traded some of my wild escapades for laid-back moments, but I still thrive on good company and shared stories. Whether it's swapping tales over a home-cooked meal or catching some Z's after a marathon bus journey, count me in for the fun!

Beyond hitting the books and exploring, I'm all about trekking and hiking, with epic adventures in Spain, Sweden, and Nepal under my belt. Trust me; I've got a treasure trove of tales to share if you're up for it!

I'm not just here for a free bed; I'm on the hunt for genuine connections and memorable experiences that make life worth living. Whether you're keen to show me your neck of the woods or just kick back and chill, I'm game! Oh, and rest assured, I'll give your profile a thorough read before reaching out. And if you are too busy for any shared activities thats fine by me as well and i will be gratefull for a place to sleep :)!

Looking forward to swapping stories and creating some epic memories together!
