CURRENT MISSION

To learn the sentence "I have no money" in every language

ABOUT ME

Curious German guy and his funny Japanese girlfriend traveling the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Things I learnt from traveling:

1. Amazing things will happen when you travel!

2. People are good. The world is not as dangerous as the media and narrow-minded people want us to think it is!

3. Money is not the most important thing in life!

4. Dont get in trouble with the law!

5. Germans are everywhere!

6. The amazing thing about visiting different cultures is not how different they are, but how similar!

7. People with similar mindsets are drawn to each other like magnets!

8. The line between a backpacker and a homeless is very thin!

9. People who never travel live comfortably inside a cage. They dont want to leave because they are afraid of the outside world!

10. If you have a friendly, positive aura other people will also confront you in a positive way!

11. The majority of people wants to live in peace.

12. Don't let anybody manipulate your thoughts and be careful with news!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started couchsurfing in 2008 while traveling New Zealand and was amazed by the friendliness and trust those people had towards their guests. Ever since I tried to couchsurf at least once in every trip or at least go to some event to meet local CS-ers.

Finishing my bachelor degree with all that traveling^^

Teach, Learn, Share

Some of my foreign friends told me I'm quite good in explaining German language. So I guess could help with that.
I'm always kean learning some funny phrases in your language, theres nothing better to start a conversation, than something funny in the local language.
Tell me everything about your culture, I travel to learn and experience other lifestyles.
I'd like to learn cooking, too but unfortunately I'm not good in the kitchen at all. Lets give it a try.
