I'm a young guy who likes travelling. I have a wide range of interests, from C++ to Rembrandt, and constantly seek new things to learn and discover. If you want to share some cool experiences, then I'm very interested.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love stories and ideas more than anything, and meeting new people is the most incredible way to hear new stories and experience new ideas. Couchsurfing seems to embody that ideal, so I very much want to be a part of that community.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I read quite a lot, and some things have sunk in along the way. I know a things about History, Philosophy, Filmography and Photography, Painting, Architecture and Engineering. I'm also quite good with computers, so if you ever need any technical help I can step in. Also family recipes to those who like cooking!

Learn:
I'm really open to anything. I have a thirst for knowledge and want to experience as much as I can!
