It's hard to describe oneself, so I just asked my girlfriend Marlien what the first five words are, that come to her mind thinking about me. Here are the results:
adventorous, innovative, open-minded, curios, honest
Well, since I am honest, I must honestly say, that she forgot to mention funny and sophisticated :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope it will be a great way to meet people all around the globe. And most importantly, it gives one the opportunity to meet people as locals, to see how they live and get a better feeling of how their lives in their countries really are. And on the other hand, one can offer the same experience to others. I think this is, what travelling is about.

Interests

Thete is nothing special about my interests. Since I am open-minded, maybe getting in touch with you will add some new interests.

• politics
• traveling
• sports
• languages
• friends
• football
• local food
• local culture
• e-mobility

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending half a year abroad as an exchange student in Sweden where I met my current girlfriend from Belgium. Then having a long-distance relationship for six years and - here comes the amazing part - persuading her to come and live together with me in such an hidden “paradise“ like Gütersloh.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to get out the most of your time while you are on a train. I am commuting to work and back 4 hours each day by train, so I know what I am talking about.
Otherwise I can teach you some local German words that even people from other parts won't know. While here this might help you to mingle with the locals.

What I Can Share with Hosts

See the “About me“ and “teach, learn, share“ section :) Otherwise, I'd like to stretch out my “german“ qualities such as reliability, respect and of course fun. Needles to mention, that my door will always be open for anyone who hosted me.
