I love to get to know different cities, people and cultures, sharing experiences, laughter and passions. I just arrived back in my hometown after spending half a year abroad. Besides the daily working Business I'm still passionate about planning the next travels. Both on travels and at home I'm comfortable going out with friends, discovering new places, people and sports. I'm always looking for new challenges: after traversing the alpes with my bike last summer I'm still looking for a new adventure. Any suggestions? :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I decided to sign up for Couchsurfing because I hope to get to know the cities I visit from a perspective I wouldn't have the chance to without getting to know locals. Further the exchange with new people from different places is always a great experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

Telling someone what kind of music I love to hear is hard because I'm open to almost everything (not so much to heavy metal and the German kind of music called "Schlager" - sorry).

My favorite books are definitely all kinds of "lonely planets" to cure the excitement already months before the actual trip.

I actually prefer soccer matches on TV than a classic movie. The good thing is you can still be in company enjoying food and drinks, while watching a match.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took this one ride in Cambodia from the middle of nowhere to Phnom Penh with 7 other people in a Toyota Corolla...while the driver shared his seat...but arrived safely!

Teach, Learn, Share

One thing I hear quite frequently is that I'm really passionate when it comes to spreading optimism!

I'd love to learn and/or slam together with others on the guitar - at the moment I'm autodidact, which at some point is frustrating.
But hej, besides the guitar I'm open to learn a lot more!
With other Couchsurfers I'd love to share different sorts of stories from all over the world and the taste for good food and drinks.
And most important: get a tiny idea of how life's been lived in the cities / homes you can sneak into for a couple of days.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Generally I love to hear and share stories from life at home and from various travels. Besides nice talks I heard quite often I'm a very positive person so I hope to spend nice and days full of laughter with my hosts. If you're lucky I can share my talent on choosing good wine with you.
