Hey, I'm Heiko, born in 1986, live with my girl friend Carina, my daughter and my son in a flat in the north Dortmund. Our street is very quiet.

We live 15 km north of Dortmund City.
By train you can be in 20 min. in the city / main train station.

Dortmund is a city which stands for changing. The big three industries (coal, beer, steel) does not really exist anymore. Dortmund is a place for technology and research.

It's said that people from Dortmund are very direct, but also we are honest and friedly people. Dortmund is an open minded place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get to know some people. Networking is one of my biggest interests.
We all don't know what happens in the future. But i think there are many reasons for get to know a lot of people, who i can help or who can me help in the future.

I can host people and show them Dortmund, the shopping mall, the stadium, the "Westfalenhallen", the Dortmund airport, great restaurants (italian or chinese style), exhibitions, chillout-areas and many other things and places. My guests are my friends and i hope that they feel like this.

Interests

One of my interests is football (soccer). I play it often as possible with my friends . On the weekend i try to watch every match of "Borussia Dortmund" in the stadium or on television.

Also i like handball, basketball, batminton and other ball sports. In the summer i love to swim.

Also I love to go to coaster-parks and have a lot of fun driving coasters.

At the evenings and nights i love to relax. I like watching movies (especially funny movies or action movies) with my friends, drinking a beer or enjoy the food (italian or chinese style). I love it to cook and try new things as often as possible.

Also i like to play "board games" like Monopoly, Tabu, Uno....

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer the main stream musics (pop,rock..). I listening to the songs of the "charts", former number one hits and some good songs from the 80s und 90s.

Reading is not really one of my hobbies. The time i need for reading a book its too long for me so i prefer the watching of movies.

I have a collection of movies i like. A the weekend i love film-evenings witch my friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I visited in 2004 the museum of the former concentration camp in Lublin/Poland. I am so thankful, that i had the chance to see this place and get an idea of what happens in the second world war. I hope that this never happens again!

Another amazing thing I've done was my first couchsurfing experience in Jever. It was an great evening with Ana and her friend and convinced me for doing more experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can give you a short lesson in german or in "Ruhrpott german" (Slang).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can give you experiences for couchsurfing. When you are at my place, we can talk about whatever you want, play games, make a sightseeing trip or do whatever you want to do.
