About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Accumulate life experiences. Meet people. Experience wonder. Feel adrenaline.

ABOUT ME

Currently studying a masters in cognitive science, I enjoy climbing/bouldering/slacklining and learning new things. Work as an English teacher and as a researcher at the uni.

I live in Münster with my girlfriend Laura who is also a couchsurfer!
We're vegetarian, we like to talk/learn about most things, nearly anything can pique my interest when it comes to having a good discussion. Psychology, anthropology, sciences...

PHILOSOPHY

Say "yes" to every opportunity. Do everything that makes you happy (so long as it doesn't detract from another's happiness)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I get so much more from my travelling experiences by meeting some locals, it's the perfect way to see another side of a locations, and, equally important is that the people on couch surfing are always so interesting and nice.

Interests

- Rock climbing
- SCUBA diving
- Parkour
- Travelling
- Camping
- Snowboarding

The next item on my 'bucket list': ice climbing. Hopefully somewhere in Europe this winter...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Few things can match the thrill of multi-pitch climbing, when you get hundreds of meters up a cliff...

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn... I wish I could learn everything! Anybody who has been to university: I want to hear all about your topics. Anybody who has learned important life lessons: I want to hear them. Anybody with an insight into humanity: i want to hear about it.

Naturally I enjoy sharing my own ideas and insights on these topics too.
