***PLEASE READ FIRST BEFORE SENDING A REQUEST***
I really didn't want to write this small part, but i've decided to do this, because i'm becoming more and more requests from people, who are just sending the same texts to all the hosts without trying to know, where are they going to stay and without trying to know the person before staying at his place. I'm not hosting much, because my appartment is quite small, but i really like to do this. Please first read my profile, because i'll probably won't host you if we don't have anything in common. No fascists, nazis, homophobes and other scum.

About me:
punk, bicycle and travels addicted, really love to ride skate, longboard and snowboard. from time to time playing vinyl records in the bars of St. Pauli. started my own podcast "It's all about punk show" about punk music some time ago, once a month making the show about punk music on a local radio station with the same name as a podcast, if you have enough time, we can make a podcast about your local diy music scene, i'm really interested in exploring local music in different countries. playing guitar in start up band, we're still trying to figure out what are we going to play, seems to be something like crust punk/metal/hardcore punk. FC St. Pauli fan. love Sankt Pauli hate fascism.
