Contrary to the Western way, I try to give something instead of just taking.

Hallo fellow couchsurfer, I am German and I must admit quite new to this community.
Currently I am studying in medicine in Maastricht. Before I started studying in Maastricht, I studied Life Science in my lovely hometown Osnabrück.
Next to being a student, my life consists to a big part of bouldering, climbing and food - if you want, I am always up for cooking a nice meal together.

Very obvious but to mention nevertheless, I like travelling and meeting new people.
I had the opportunity to visit 4 of the 5 continents already. This year I spent one month in a cultural exchange program in Saudi Arabia.
At the moment, I cannot offer a couch because I am travelling myself until the end of August. From September onwards, I would like to offer my cough to people from all over the world! I am very excited to meet you. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to use the opportunity to get to know people from all over the world who obviously know more than I am about the places I want to visit.

This summer I want to make my first couchsurfing experiences in Ireland. I have heard so much about the beautiful cities in Ireland, so that I decided to visit and get to know Ireland.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite book series is Harry Potter because I grew up with this magical world. However, I read quite some other books as well.
I do not spend a lot of time watching movies, however, sometimes I end up binge watching a series, which got my attention (e.g., House MD, Grey’s Anatomy, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Sense 8, Formula 1 - Drive to survive, The Originals, Lucifer, ...)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- climbing up a mountain in Machu Picchu
- diving in the Indian Ocean at night

Teach, Learn, Share

I am honest, I am new to couchsurfing, however, after we got to know each other, we will probably find something we can "teach" each other.

Maybe you can help me improve my profile and tell me about your couchsurfing experiences?

What can we share?
Experiences, friendship, food, a day of activities, ...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have quite some funny stories to tell about my experience in previous travels, the hospital, while studying - I can also share some German culture (which is more than Beer and Pretzels)..
