About Me

Travelling is my passion.

I love to explore other ways of being! Different cultures different lifestyles. I always enjoy the sun and inspiring people around me. Inspiration is important to me. For me, life is not a party - it is an creative space where you can build something. I feel odd just being a consumer.
I work at university as a Ph.D. in Information Technology, which means I teach, research, and fly around the world :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There is definitely such thing as a free meal - try Couchsurfing :)

I do host people in Köln (make sure to be quick for Carnival :), but sometimes do not have much time to show you around, depending on how busy I am. I usually prefer hosting for 1 night, maximum 2 nights.

When travelling, I like to meet up people for a coffe, drink, dinner, party or whatever, especially when I'm on business travel, when everyone else hangs out in the stupid hotel :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming at night in a bay of Vieques with glowing little plancton. It's like bathing in stars.

Teach, Learn, Share

My life is about exploring and inspiring. I believe that education is one of the key factors to make the world a better one. That's why I put much effort into education that I give at university.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer a good talk, a beer out, maybe I'll play something on the guitar for you, I might also have time to show you around, depending on how busy I am. .
