If you're a refugee from Ukraine and in dire need of a warm place to sleep, feel free to contact me - We'll figure a provisional solution out.

Hey there!

My name's Hanno, I was born and raised in Berlin and currently am a psychology student at the Freie Universität Berlin.

Thanks to my time on a French highschool in Berlin and my studying course year in France (Aix-Marseille), I'm fluent in "Parisian" and can fluently communicate in English too.
Learning Russian for one year and try to expand my veeery limited capacities there more and more (Can understand and utter some sentences, A2 level, currently workin to get on B1) - мне нравится быть открытым для новых уроков!:)

I love playing piano, reading, doing sports and am always ready and on to spend a nice time with new people from all over the world from every kind. I find it fascinating to exchange and share the stories of each other's lifes. Although this sounds rather very extraverted, I'm more of an introvert and not the crazy-all-night partypeople kind of guy.
So although I surely party from time to time, I always enjoy a nice long walk to the fullest and am more of a calm, relaxed late-night wining and dining company.

One can almost always persuade me with trying and simply undertaking completely new or unconventual endeavours. Especially when they're not planned ahead and spontaneous, because I'm also an improvising and flexible person.
I also am a great cinema enthusiast and do enjoy a looot of series.

IMPORTANT:
If you need fast responses, write me preferably on facebook (Hanno Mayer). But note that FB doesn't notify me about message requests, so better add me as "friend" additionally!
That's simply because I rarely check out couchsurfing's messenger.

I do not tolerate racism, homophobia or a generally (negative) wilful ignorance. If anything of that is relating to you, you may reframe of contacting me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Wanna provide the same help to people who travel and are in need of a shelter that I myself would also have to seek away from home.

The experiences and all sorts of stories which I was able to come to know in many multi- and international dormitories in my past years have inflamed my passion for meeting new people in any situation, time or location.

I'm already now thrilled to hear your story and am of course ready to share mine with you!

Music, Movies, and Books

No fixated preference to music, I hear everything that I like, no matter the genre or artist - from country and classical music over gangstarap to death metal.
