About Me

ABOUT ME

I was born in Berlin. Because of my job I travel a lot in Germany. So in the last 5 years I lived in Frankfurt, Bonn, Hamburg and Munich. But my heart is beating always for Berlin where I am mostly at the weekend.

I would define myself as open minded, laid back, direct and outgoing person. I love deep discussions about polite, economic stuff and the meaning of life.

I don't like touchy people which only care about their style and which want to be the hottest person in the club.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone should find is own route to a fullfilling life. But it is not easy to do so. If you found your way, try to work on it every single day to achieve your goal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The first time I heared about Couchsurfing was in 2005. The idea to host new peoples with different cultures and complete other roots was fascinating. So I hostet some travelers in Hamburg and showed him the local places.

In the next years I want to travel a lot so I will be mainly a guest :-)

Interests

My passion is sailing :-) I learned it in Hamburg and there you have a lake directly in the city :-) That was like heaven.. Someday I want to do a trip where i visit the world only by boat :-)

Music is always around me, I love to do movie nights which goes to the next morning and I am quite a good cook. Yeah, and of course I like the normal things like chilling with friends in bars, clubbing and so on..
