I am David, 28 years old and an environmental sicentist. I am open minded, welcoming, fun to be around, friendly and love to travel. I speak German, English and Spanish as I lived a lot of years abroad. My favorite hobby is beeing outdoors, while rock climbing, riding mountain bike or just hiking/camping. Besides of that I like to play soccer, listen to good music and I read a lot (at least one book a month). So there will be always a topic to chat about. Currently I live in Berlin, while working for the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting locals, understanding the culture in a better intense way, forget about my/our misconceptions, capture everyday life, eating local food, making new friends and memories of a lifetime are just one of the reasons for me to travel via couchsurfing.

Teach, Learn, Share

Time is one of our most precious gifts as you only have a set amount of it in this life. You can gain more money, but you can't gain more time. When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you'll never "get back". Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you could possibly give someone is your time and full attention. Let´s share some time together!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to share with you my stories, laugh, my culture, happy personality. If you are interested in any of the languages I am speaking I can teach you a bit =)
