Hey my friend!

I am Fokke from the lovely town of Hamburg in Germany and currently travelling California

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am quite new to the society, but those i already got in touch gave me the impression that Couchsurfing is the best way to meet the real open minded persons on this planet. I guess there is no better way to get in touch with other cultures than sharing the same place to live for a night or two.
...And it's fun, of course! :-)

Interests

I like to get around. To meet peoples who have amazing experiences to share.
I looove (almost) any kind of music. I play piano if find one around and I am just learning to play guitar.
I am also as well up for nearly all sports and outdoor activities. I did Rowing for a time professionally, but I love as well to play basketball, Football, Biking, Kayaking, ...

Music, Movies, and Books

ohhh there are soo many good bands out there...
I like Muse, Coldplay, Incubus, Mando Diao, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Weezer just to mention a few. From the many different music styles I am listening to, Rock and Alternative are probably my favourites.
Two authors where I always had pleasure to read were Charles Bukowski and Hunter S. Thompson. But I do not hesitate to grab to more serious matter... sometimes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most recently to mention: Leaving a good and pleasant life with a good job, lots of friends and all securities behind to catch the awesomeness at the end of the world!
And I do not regret any second.

...But once I used to be World Champion in Rowing as well. I guess, that's cool, too!

Teach, Learn, Share

What I could teach is Rowing (I am quite good at it) and making music with whatever proves to be suitable for that.
What you could teach me ...? Surprise me with something absolute fantastic, be it useful or just funny! I am absolutely curious to learn new things!

What I Can Share with Hosts

The most obviously of course: A great time!
But additionally always an open ear and maybe a helping hand!
And positive energy. let's laugh together :-D

...And by the way: I have a hammock if your couch proves to be too small for me with my 196cm height! 😊
