Overview
About Me
I currently traveling through south east Asia and doing my second trip before I hopefully go to university later on this year. I stayed in Canada for a while and traveled through major city's in the US and Canada.
I think im an open-minded and relaxed person but i will let you judge if we ever get the pleasure to meet :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I actually learned about couchsurfing quite a while ago but never really thought about it because i was at school and lived with my parents. So neither hosting nor surfing was an option. Then after i left for my "adventure" of leaving germany and living alone in an other country i started to go to the weekly couchsurfing meetings in toronto because of a friend and really enjoyed it there. I like the spirit of the community of sharing culture, stories, experience, fun and of course a couch :)
Interests
I spend a lot of time tinkering around with my computer and got into programming when i was very young ( don't even know when i started ). I had several small and big projects privately and a few i even got payed for. Computer science is a mixture of hobby and ( hopefully in the future ) profession for me.
I had drum lessons for 7 years but sadly didn't play for a long time. Also i really enjoy going snowboarding whenever i get the chance to go. And of course i enjoy a nice cold beer!

Music, Movies, and Books
When it comes to music i actually don't have a distinctive taste. I listen to nearly every genre and pick out the songs i like. But i would say my taste goes into a more relaxed direction even though i really enjoy edm ( and similar stuff ) when it comes to having some fun.
For movies, one of my favorite movies is "Children of men" but there are a lot of good movies out there. Besides from the "classics" like "Star wars" and "Lord of the rings" i like "Fight Club", "Departed", "How High", "Batman: Dark Knight Trilogy" and and and ...
I actually dont read that much books ... well until now i think i actually tried to avoid reading books ... i didn't even read the school lectures. But during my trip i started with the Game of Thrones books and made it through the first one. I guess that counts ':)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I guess skydiving was one of the most memorable things for me to do ... but there are a few other things and hopefully i will do a lot more amazing things in the future.
Teach, Learn, Share
Whatever you can teach me i would be grateful to learn it or at least get an introduction to it. Cooking, dancing, meditating ... there are a lot of things i would like to try out and i think there are way more things i should try out that i never even heard of.
Im also very interested in other peoples views and experiences. So if you have an interesting story to share i will always listen :)
If i can teach you something or share my limited knowledge with you im more than happy to do so :)!

Hopefully a fun and Interesting time!
