ABOUT ME

After high school I left germany to see the world, since then I'm traveling, first through Europe now Canada, in september I'll start uni, but not in germany. I spent 18 years there and found out that our planet has more to offer than just this small country...
I like cooking, reading, visiting museums, skiing, biking, history, discussing and trying new things.
I'm, well I'm not so sure. Mostly, people say, friendly, open-minded, interesting, unpunctual, reliable ( I now its contrdictory), determined...

PHILOSOPHY

Leben und leben lassen, it's german and you could translate it to live and let live

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard from other travelers about this project and then I heard from a friend who tried and had good experiences with it so I thought I try and here I am :)
By now I was cs a couple of times and I had only good experiences, loving especially to talk to people more than smalltalk, and see things you wouldn't have seen or done without the advice of your host
