My name is Hans. I grew up in Bavaria and now I live in Leipzig since 10 years. I really like my hometown but I also like to travel around the world. I really like to discuss with people about politics and to learn new points of view about the world where we live. I am very involved in the labour union! At the moment I do write my PhD in sociology of work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Long time ago, I did a amazing trip in Canada and used couchsurfing for the first time as my brothers told me to do so. I met wonderful people on my trip. In general, it is always important for me to get to know local people in order to understand the places where I am.. I hope, I will have more of these great experiences!

Interests

When I travel to new places I am interested in the historical and political situation because I want to understand how this world works. I am interested in getting to know new points of view from different people to broaden my mind. In my home town I like to go to punk concerts. And, I really like to go to concerts in other countries.
