I am a student of cognitive science, 22 years old, from Tübingen, Germany. One thing I can say about me: I don't really know what to say about me. I'd say I'm open minded, interested in about everything, a nice person, blablabla, but everybody says stuff like that about him/herself. And who am I to judge, I am probably not the most objective person in this matter. So, if you want to know something about me, you might've to meet me :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Seeing a country and feeling a country are two entirely different things.
I doubtlessly like being on my own to just enjoy what the landscape has to offer but to really get to know the culture of a country one has to get to know the people of the country.
So via couchsurfing I have the possibility to experience different cultures in a more authentic way and to show my own to other travellers.
Also meeting interesting people from all over the world might give me new ideas of certain things or make me see things from a different angle.

Interests

I am deeply interested in how and why things are the way they are.
So especially science, but e.g. politics, philosophy, history, etc. as well.
Furthermore I am (obviously) interested in travelling.
My hobbies are playing hockey (not ice), football (soccer) and the bass. I like painting as well, I'm not good but it's fun, I do quite a bit of computer programming in university and that's fun as well, I can tell you.

Music, Movies, and Books

The music I listen to depends on the mood I'm in or I want to be in, so can't really say.
It ranges from Metallica to Stevie Wonder, from Sting to Classical music, ...
For books and movies I like it, if it makes me think, enriches my mind. But some stupid book or movie that's just enjoyable: I won't say no to that either :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every day is a great experience.
Just joking, it might be true but that's just nonsense to put here, so a proper experience: I travelled with the transsiberian railway to china, went down to australia and from there to south america between highschool and university, that might serve as a proper experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to share my experiences, knowledge and beliefs and get taught whatever I can get.
During my travels in south america I picked up a bit of spanish and practicing this more is another goal.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, I might cook something, we can talk, play cards, whatever suits you :)
