I'm a German, Düsseldorf based sales professional who likes to explore whenever he can. Just came back from a 3 years assignment in Shanghai.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Obviously no better way to meet new people and dive into different cultures!

Interests

Exploring places, cultures, people and food that Ive never seen before.

In terms of sports, I like fitness, winter sports (Ski and Snowboard) and diving, but also try to get to know new things. If you want to jump from a mountain top in a wing suit, I'm in.
