I'm a 20 yo boy from Germany. I've just finished high school and before going to uni I wanted to travel abroad. Since last December, I am in Japan because I'm interested in its culture due to my interest in the board game "Go". I want to see as much as I can of the country and the people, learn the language and make new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Good way to meet new people
Accommodation tends to cost a lot in Japan ;D

Interests

In school I had a lot of different hobbies. Now I see the worth of it and try to find new things to be interested in. I'm good at logical thinking what makes me good at playing strategy games, finding solutions for problems and programming.
But I'm also interested in music and classical dancing. I played Viola in different youth orchestras and went to pair dancing classes weekly.
From age 4 to 14 I played soccer in several clubs and started playing volleyball in high school - especially beach volleyball with friends.
