Hello everyone and welcome to the profile of this crazy guy. I am a computer and software engineer currently living in Lisbon. Since my first solo trip things were never the same for me. Since then I am in constant search of exploring new cultures, foods and languages.

I believe what makes life interesting is curiosity. There are so many places to visit, so many mistakes to do and learn, so many food to try and so many people to meet all around the world. You don't know what the future holds so you should do your best with it. Even this is not enough for some people, I actually don't know what is?

I love talking about history and philosophy. I could say that I am an easy-going person if you want to chill I am your guy and also if you want to party I am your guy too.

If you bear with me to the end, then thank you for reading.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I believe that every person is like an ambassador of its own culture. I believe that by meeting with new people this will take out the all prejudice for both sides. Moreover, it is amazing to meet with locals when you go to a new city. You learn more about the culture and the history. You don't get a chance to find this opportunity if you just spend time on touristic attractions.
