About Me

"We all smile the same language"

Started with my PhD in Ulm, staying with parents for now, so hosting is not possible right now, sorry!
Life centered around: Sports, mostly Parkour, and dancing in general (Salsa/Bachata/Kizomba/Reggaeton/House/etc)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, first it was about saving money, then it was something the "cool kids" do, but as I tried it more and more, I realise, that I really like the idea. I am not investing quite as much time in it as some people on here, but on the upside I am really not a demanding host (if I can host) - I totally don't mind if you have plans, and we barely see each other. My week is mostly full with work/sports/dancing, so unless you want to join me, chances are high that I will come home AFTER my guests :D

My experiences with CS: Hosted several people in Sweden mostly, surfed a little bit less myself :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Met a couchsurfer at the train station and gave him the card to my student apartment, because his train was delayed, and I wanted to join a Parkour session - He did not steal my stuff, as everybody assured me he would cetainly do, and 7 Years later we are still great friends!
