Hey I'm Charly/ Charles :)

I'm 26-years-old, I’m from Cologne and will be on a 2 months-long interrail journey to Portugal after just having finished my masters in architecture. After having spent the last 3 years in my hometown of Cologne, when I will be back from my trip I plan to start working in Berlin where I used to live for a year :-)

I love meeting new people, discovering new places and making friends from all around the world. On the one hand I like to cook for people and stay to have cozy dinners with meaningful conversations but I also have a great time going out to exhibitions, to do outdoor activities e.g. or simply to a bar.

I would tend to describe myself as a very outgoing, extroverted and sociable person, who doesn’t take himself too serious and with whom you can laugh for hours or have great time dancing all night. But I also would consider myself as being very respectful, mindful and helpful when it comes people I am around or who share their spaces with me 🙏🏽

Why not? :D

I mean its a great way to get to know different, interesting new people and places.
