About Me

CURRENT MISSION

visiting Prague

ABOUT ME

In 2006/2007 I spent a year in New Zealand. This way I got introduced to travelling and meeting all types of persons from all over the world. I like being on the road, get inspired by different cultures, their way of life and different approaches to solve problems.

I'm friendly, interested in all sorts of stuff, critical, honest, like to try and learn new things, uncomplicated, tend to be quite direct to people and in general like the company of others.

PHILOSOPHY

Give everyone a chance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to surf someone's couch or to host people and help to explore Münster. I think locals always give you a better perspective on a city or an area and let you experience it in a whole different and better way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
