About Me

I'm currently a student of East Asia and its languages. While a have got time I like to travel and open my mind for new things.

Anyways, I'd just like to have a wonderful time and meet lots of interesting people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing adds the special extra to travelling. It makes it possible to encounter amazing people and make quickly friends. I think it is nice to not just be a tourist.

Interests

Snowboarding, reading books, watching movies, learning new stuff, enjoying my life and travelling.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Dr. Horribles Sing-Along Blog, 12 Angry Men, Memento, Requiem for a Dream, Amelie

Music: Classical music and a little bit of everything

Books: Franz Kafka 'The Trial', J.W.Goethe 'The Sorrows of Young Werther', Vladimir Nabokov 'Lolita'

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked thousands of kilometers in around 40 countries now, including through desert roads at 48°C in the summer of Oman. In hindsight, not my greatest idea.

Had the chance to continuously travel for over a year in between studies.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook and also to learn new recipes. I also love all kinds of dough, have been making my own bread for a while and I'm currently on a quest to produce gorgeous croissants. Also there is the case of Chinese noodles. Surprisingly difficult to hand-pull noodles.

Lately, I'm really fond of languages, so I've learned Japanese the last couple of years and now I'm working on my Korean and Chinese.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I always enjoy sharing my food, be it cooked or baked. Most of the time, it's quite good (no guarantees though).
