About Me

Hi Everyone,

My name's Frank, I'm an International Culture and Business Studies student from Passau. I love travelling the world and, most importantly, getting to know locals with their own ways of living, cultural backgrounds and traditions. Couchsurfing is the best way to do so, which is why I'm keen to arrange most of my stays via CS.
I'm looking forward to meeting you!
Best,
Frank

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

No better way to get to know the people and the secret spots of a city. Just love how you get insights money can't buy.

Interests

Sports: Basketball, Rowing, Jogging, Skate/Snow/Surfboarding.
Art: Architecture, Photography, Performance Arts, Dance.
Music: Play the drums in a band.
Culinary: Love to cook, have a good drink and trying out local specialties.
Traveling: of course discovering new places, cultures and getting to know the people there is probably the best thing you can do on this planet. Even better, though, when I can share these experiences with my girlfriend, our backpacks on our shoulders.

- New cooking styles and recipes
- Magic tricks
- Local dances

What I Can Share with Hosts

Travelling the world I've been able to get to know a few different kitchens, reaching from Argentina over Romania to Vietnam. Hosting me might include having a nice decent dinner as sign of my gratitude. :) Apart from that, I've got one or two funny stories to tell from my travels, am a humorous guy and definitely down for a good time, wherever I am.
