About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm 21 and currently - probably like you, searching for a place to stay in Munich. So I'm sorry to say I can't offer a couch right now.

As I study Physics its a big part of my interests, but likewise every kind of creative activity catches my interest.

And Sports. I enjoy playing soccer, but I've tried lots of other stuff before - gymnastics, triathlon, rock climbing, mountain biking, running, caving and especially canyoning - some more than others. In general I like every kind of sport, and to try new ones out, like surfing - which I like but am not good at.

I'll teach you how to play flunky-ball, if you are into drinking games (kind of a sport, isn't it?) ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

It´s hard to fit a philosophy in a little box like this, so let´s just talk about it while having a beer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I've only been benefiting from the CS project, but it's like hitchhiking, once you've done it yourself you'll never ignore a traveler in need at the edge if the road anymore - I'll do my best to host other travelers when I found a place myself! ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few in Argentina and the states - only positive ones!

Interests

I'm easy to excite for all fun things; music, sports etc. I am into every kind of way you can put a rhythm to a melody, like the drums, a cajon or just stuff lying around.

I enjoy a match of soccer as much as having a chat about it.

I used to play the piano when I was little, and my brother taught me a little bit on the guitar.
I'm interested in in politics and science and always like hearing new points of view.

Me gustería hablar en español también :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love both listening and especially making music - nearly any kind, but I have a favour for alternative music like the red hot chili peppers or the arctic monkeys, the black keys and so on. I play both drums and the cajon and kind of invented my own way of doing a thing called body-percussion (I´ll just show it to you in case you don´t know it :) )

I really like to read but for some reason I can't spare the time lastly. I'm currently reading "zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance"

I watch movies - all kinds of em, stupid, drama, action - I also enjoy certain series.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My low budget backpacking trip 'round the Americas all the way from Buenos Aires to Vancouver, involving hitchhiking, spending more than 24 hours on a bus, sleeping in a hammock somewhere in Argentina next to a road, having a motorcycle accident somewhere in Bolivia, being allowed to smuggle Rum into a national park by the police somewhere in Colombia, being stuck in a fishing village somewhere in Nicaragua and making 1000s of new friends - anywhere :)

Lots of stories to tell!

I also did an amazing road trip around spain and portugal with two friends in our tiny car, only spending money on gas and beer ;-)
