About Me

Hey there!

Diversity is one of the things that fascinates me the most. Getting to know new people, ideas and attitudes is one of the most interesting things I can imagine. This is why I enjoy to the fullest to get to know new cultures and countries and especially the people who live there!

I would describe myself as an open-minded person who enjoys the company of friends as the same as of strangers.

In 2007, I participated in the Australian Work and Travel program. During this time, I made lots of great experiences I don't want to miss today. While travelling, I realized what really matters to me and what the source of great stories and memories is. It's the people you meet on your journeys.
That's why I like and contribute to the idea of CS! :)

PHILOSOPHY

"One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself" (Common sense) and "the shortest path to oneself leads around the world" (H. Keyserling)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Trying to offer a couche when possible and share experience with other CS community members.

I met a bunch of Couch Surfers, surfed on one couch and hosted a few during the last years. I definitely wouldn’t like to miss these experiences!:)

PLEASE READ IF YOU INTEND TO SEND ME A CS REQUEST

Take into account the following three points:
1. Show me that you at least skimmed my profile
2. I can only host ONE person at a time since my one room apartment is quite small.
3. I cannot /can seldom host from Monday to Thursday

Interests

I'm interested in sports like Basketball, Squash, Diving, Surfing, Skiing, (Salsa), motorbike tours, lying around doing nothing etc.
I also like to watch movies and musicals!
Furthermore, I'm interested in investment (mostly stocks), electronic devices and travelling of course. =)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Founded a team with fellow students to participate at the Formula Student and accompanied its development over the years (Just some advertisement: www.herkulesracing.de =) ).

Spent 7 months in South-East Asia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to share travel, work and CS experiences.
In addition, I'm pretty good with technical devices and wasting time while doing "really important things" like washing when I actually planned to do some work..;)

I am ok with cooking and capable to prepare a few traditional German dishes I could also teach to cook if one is interested in.
Furthermore, I am happy to help interested people to understand the German culture a bit better (you know...always in a bad mood, never being satisfied, even beautiful things sound like "I am going to hit you with a slash hammer!" etc. ;))
