Born and raised in the far west of Germany where the Sun buggers off to the Netherlands in the evening. Worked in a South African township for a year. Currently studying Economics and Politics in England.
I am thankful for what I have and don't need much to be happy. I guess I'm a rather easy going person and get along well with almost all kinds of people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What do think mate? To stay somewhere for free. Naturally. And its great to meet some new people in the process. People who host you are normally the personification of kick ass awesomeness.

Interests

People. Travelling. Politics. Literature. Urban culture. Films and Series. Nature. A lot of stuff I guess.
Things I love include dawn when I come back from a party, discussions about the political economics of development, the smell of freshly cut grass, people who are not afraid of looking silly and watermelons (who would honestly prefer honeydews?).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked from Harare, Zimbabwe to Cape Town, SA. About 3500 Ks. Felt like a hundred lifts. One of the greatest adventures I've been on so far.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to hear and tell some stories.
I'd be happy to cook (though I do it only passably well).
I'd love to talk politics. More than fine with people having fundamentally different opinions, of course.
I'm normally up to whatever but wouldn't mind clearing off to the couch and shutting up either.
