About Me

I'm just graduated in Applied Mathematics and before I start my working life I'm traveling along the Trans Mongolian Railway. I especially like playing the piano, photography and triathlon.

In Enschede I was part of a band where I played the piano, I am part of great triathlon association to be able to do this individual sport together with great people and taking photos is something I try to do in between. Otherwise watching a movie or drinking a beer with friends is also a great way to spend my spare time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I subscribed when I wanted to meet a lot of nice people in Berlin during my internship there. Now is a great way to really meet the people of the countries I'm visiting, to make sure I'm not just a tourist.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to listen to singer-songwriters like Damien Rice, Bill Fay. But also pop music like Coldplay of U2 is always good. My favorite book is the Lord of the Rings, but at the moment I also read a lot of non-fiction and sometimes detectives are a good way to relax.
My favorite movie of the last the is The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, but also movies like Inception or The Lord of the Rings are great. I even like movies with very little action, but that are thought-provoking.

I also watch TV series like Homeland, Fargo, Better Call Saul, Game of thrones and the best of all: breaking bad.
