I'm a communicative person. I can share some good stories with you, one of my favourites is when I locked myself out of the hotel room - completely naked (more information about that when you host me). Besides to talking a lot I'm a good listener. Everyone has at least a few good stories about their life and I’m curious to hear them...
I give everything/body at least two chances. The only way to definitely find out if you like them/it is trying it twice.
I like the outdoors, medieval architecture, good food and I’m always in for a nice pub with good beer and/or rum.
I'm an independent person, so you don't have to hold my hand while you host me, but I would be glad if we could spend some time together and show me your city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet good people who happen to be locals where I’m a stranger.

Interests

I like travelling (especially hitchhiking) a lot, hang out with friends, play board games, have some beers in a bar or just cook with a bunch of people - I'm not a chef but my cooking is not too bad - and have some good wine, food, music... But there's one thing I really love: the mountains! No matter where they are, what they look like, what height they have or if there's snow or not - they are always amazing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like indie music and german, especially Austrian songwriters but there are good songs in many other genres. It's the same with movies and books... As long as the plot is interesting and well-conceived I'll have fun with it. My favourite movie is 'The Boondock Saints' and for books I like stories in or with a historical background.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 6 months in Egypt and lived right in the centre of Cairo.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you in Bavarian 'Gemütlichkeit' which is VERY important (at least for me), some of the most inexpressible (but very funny sounding) Bavarian sentences, some of my moms/grandma's finest recipes and refresh your knowledge and skills about CPR (I'm a voluntary paramedic and firefighter back home in Germany).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well... Myself I'd say. You should definitely get to know me!
