Overview
About Me
Yeah, well I am currently studying biotechnology at the Berlin Institute of Technology. Come to think of it, this is not entirely correct as I am now studying beer brewing science (which is part of the biotechnology cluster). Besides that I try to see as much as my city has to offer (which is a lot !). Before I started studying I worked abroad for some time in the north of europe (Iceland, Norway) but nowadays my traveling is more or less limited to Germany as money and time is sparse. But I was able to get away to Central America last year and had a blast there for more than half a year.
I myself am rather open minded and love a good discussion, preferably in a shoddy bar with a beer in hand.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
The place where I live is to tiny to host anyone without us suffocating during the night from oxygen deprivation. But I try to surf as much as possible whenever I go somewhere else as it provides a direct access to the cities through the host. Usually one can dive immediately into the experience of (remotely) knowing someone there.
All my hosts were brilliant people and we had a lot of fun together.
