About Me

Hey there friend! I am Chronk and would love to meet you :)

I am a multi-facetted person with extroverted I want to do improv-theater and play games all day and introverted I want to play guitar and read my book sides. I love to share thoughts about life, conciousness, dreams, future and all levels of these.

For years now, I have planned and conducted events for competition of any kind: Climbing on Beer Boxes, Boat Race, Slingshot, Slow Bike Race. I love organising events and bringing people together.

I just finished my Masters in Biomedical Engineering and reactivated my CS profile since me and my friend Lia want to skip the hostel small talk and immediately dive into an authentic side of South Korea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I grew up in a family with 5 siblings. That is why I like company no matter where I am. So travelling alone is fine, but I really like meeting new people. Having locals around you at foreign places gives you so much more than going for a Hotel. Not being into Couchsurfing, but receiving advice from locals in Croatia 2016, gave me the oppurtunity to see the sun setting in front of an old castle's ruin. That's one in a thousand examples - let's get some more.

Interests

Always trying to teach myself a new skill each year. This one's guitar. A few years ago it was doing a backflip on flat ground. Stopped quite fast as my lip was stuck in my braces after a failed attempt. Always looking for an adventure: Climbing rocks, jumping cliffs, exploring old ruins.
Also I am very competitive: table tennis, pool or any bet - I am in!
