My name is Christian, I'm an engineer from Germany. I love to travel around the world and to explore new cultures and languages. Right now I am traveling together with Janka. She is a speech language pathologist and loves dacing and yoga. Both of us are fluent in English and learn Chinese at the moment. We like to have fascinating, serious or funny talks about culture, food, languages and experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To explore the world together with nice people. Cultural exchange is the best way to learn how beautiful other parts of the world can be. I like that staying with locals and experiencing their life and thoughts gives you a far deeper understanding of the culture than any other way of traveling.

Interests

As you probably already realized...I love travelling and meeting new people. On my travels I really enjoy photography and discovering places tht are related to the country's history.
Furthermore I like cooking a lot and to find out about vegetarian food in foreign countries.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music I really enjoy is alt-j and florence and the machine, but it can also vary a lot so that I find my self listening to phantom of the opera or other similar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In my first days in Taiwan I did not understand a word Chinese, but I needed to find vegetarian food. In the end the owner of another restaurant left his food stall alone and showed me vegetarian places in the area. People are so wonderful...
