I'm a night owl, I enjoy exploring the city, reading, writing, partying, sports, discussing, having ideas, making music, playing (mostly video) games or watching shows online.
Generally, I'm a highly companionable and low-maintenance person who was raised to be polite in every situation, ask anyone who knows me. ^^ And I'm always eager to learn/try out new and innovative things, it's just the way I've always been.

Due to my father being a musician, I had the luck to travel many countries and I can't think of anything more exciting than that. It's just such a special feeling, time and time again. I love checking out new places and also coming back to known places to explore them more deeply.
But there are still a lot of areas of the world I haven't been to yet, so one of my goals is definitely to travel more to new places. And I guess - apart from friends all over the world that I want to visit in their home countries - that's where couchsurfing comes in. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I got to meet so many openminded, beautiful people from so many different places in my life, so that's what I'm looking for here too. Getting to know new people is always exciting and adds to your life experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Probably everything that has to do with one of these things: music, writing, language (also proofreading), IT, drawing, cooking, video games, football

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully a lot of laughs, humour in general, but also interesting conversations about their lives and experiences. I love to compare notes and to discuss with people, you learn so many things you would've otherwise missed!

I also like to cook with/for others. I may not be a master chef, but I do have a few recipies stored in the back of my head. ;) Although I usually like to improvise.

Also, if you're into music (or other kinds of art), we can always jam, freestyle or improvise together.
