Hey Guys,

my name is Fabian , I´m 23 years old and I´m from Stuttgart in Germany. As I succesfully completed my Bachelor degree in Economics this year, I now have a lot of free time to explore the world and travel to different countries within different continents.
I just love getting to know foreigners from all over the world not only by travelling in other countries but also hosting guests travelling throughout my home country in Germany !
I would love to get to know a diversity of foreign people with different cultural and personal background by using couchsurfing as a platform to get in contact with inhabitants from different areas of the world :) It surely enriches your own horizon by getting in touch with perspectives from people with different cultural background !!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience as much authenticity when travelling abroad and get in contact with the real life situation from local people ! Moreover its a perfect platform to get in cultural exchange with people all over the world

As a consequence, foreigners are able to get to know the country they are visiting by locals and have a more authentic view on life in general than by staying at hotels :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting invited by local vietnamese craftsmen to live in their tiny, although heart-warming wood cabin midst half-constructed wood houses nearby Langbiang Mountain in central highland in Vietnam !! Drinking tons of ricewine, starting in the morning and playing karaoke throughout the day !! Fucking awesome inspiration experiencing all their kindness, hospitality and love of life :)

Teach, Learn, Share

People should honestly concentrate much more on their similarities with foreigners than focusing on the differences between people in general ! By approaching foreign people with openness, kindness and a veritable interest in their life habitats you´re always gonna get heart-warming kindness & love back :) :) Really can´t understand xenophobics concentrating on their stereotypes about other people and consequently shaping their behavior correspondingly in order to get confirmation of their biased and prejudice thinking !

I guess one step towards pure and veritable eudemonia is always giving first - without any expectations in mind - rather than focussing on what people can offer you
Moreover, I think empathy towards other people, animals, nature (in short: your whole environment) is one of the key attributes towards a more humanitarian, ecological and moral art of living in general !!

What I Can Share with Hosts

- openness, hospitality, veritable interest in your culture & lots of experiences from travelling abroad as a backpacker :)
