Hey there :) my name is Dorian and I’m a 20 year-old kid from Germany out here to explore. As of October, I will study Sports Science and Sports Psychology in Cologne, Germany. But still, traveling has always been a part of my family‘s lifestyle and therefore, I took the last year (my gap year) as an opportunity to travel the world on my own. I grew up playing team sports and participating in group events (summer camp, playing in a band). I love going out there to meet new people, I can’t wait to meet hosts and surfers from all over the world!!!

Concerning my lack of references: I just started being part of the Couchsurfing community. You will not regret having me as a guest. I have long lasting relationships with the hosts that offered me a place to stay on my travels. I have great Workaway/WOOFING experiences so I would appreciate a chance to prove that I‘m a low-maintenance, easy-going type of guy :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I can’t wait to socialize in a new environment which is why I consider Couchsurfing the best platform for me and my travel purposes. I didn’t download the app for budget reasons, I simply hope for more interesting, authentic experiences with locals that took the great step to open their doors for travelers from all over the world !

Music, Movies, and Books

The music I listen to ranges from American Hip/Hop to classical music, mix it with a little R‘nB, EDM or even country! I listen to it all depending on the occasion.
I love to read autobiographies, „travel-themed“ novels and German classic literature. I loved the old James Bond movies, but when it comes to movies, I don’t really have any preferences…I just like to laugh :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most exciting adventure were probably the 5 months I spent backpacking in Central America. But what really shaped me in my earlyier years as a teenager was my time in Canada at the age of 16. I spent half a year with a host family and went to highschool in Vancouver. It definitely had a huge impact on me and fueled the love for traveling and sharing experiences with people from all over the place.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have everything to learn and I will always listen! I only have limited skills to teach but I will do my best to share the amount of knowledge I have acquired at my young age. I can teach to play the ukulele, the drums or the piano. I know a lot about nutrition and physical activity…but I‘m eager to learn as much as I can from as many people as possible.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can’t wait to share smiles, laughs, stories, humor, a home, some food, but most importantly: I can’t wait to share the time I spend in a new environment with someone who offers a place to stay for travelers like me. Someone who shares that passion of sharing all sorts of things and thoughts!
