UPDATE:
I will move to Freiburg im Breisgau in a few day and won't be able to host you for now until i find a flat. But if you want to catch up, just drop me a mesage!

I'm originnally from Bielefeld, studied in Munster, lived in the very South of Germany, Weil am Rhein for 3 years and now go to Freiburg.
Love travelling, my dog Bono, laughing, eating, hiking, mountains and meeting people from all over the world.
I'm not the hotel kinda guy so staying with locals and have a beer or two together would be great.
I prefer hostels over hotels as you get in touch with so many wonderful people telling amazing Stories! Also I rather enjoy the non-touristy places while traveling! I don't do sightseeing a lot, I rather look for quiet and beautiful/natural places to stay!
I'm very active but also enjoy some chill-out time.
If there's any question not been answered, don't hesitate to ask!!

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I imagine to get to know different characters and different cultures; maybe learning to see things in life in a different way...

As i'm still trying to find my way in life, where i want to get, where to live, what to do, get to know what's my mission, I'm always seeking for people who are willing to share their stories with me. Let me get inspired by the way people manage to find themselves in this big and exciting world.
I also try to be surrounded by people who think positive! Because life can be beautiful!! I don't like those who are all negative, don't have any dreams or passions!

During working days (mon-fri) I'm quite busy but if you're around on weekends and like to explore the beautiful nature around or discover some nice and little cafes, drop me message so we can catch up and hike or have coffee together!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

no experience yet but cannot wait to start!!!
I've joined couch surfing during my travels in New Zealand but didn't have the chance to couch surf at that time. After that I forgot about my account but rediscovered it a couple of weeks ago. So now I'm eager to connect with CS from all over the world!!
I won't be able to accept guest in the next few weeks becuase I'll be in London for a few days and will be pretty much booked out afterwards by friends and family visiting me in in may and june.

Interessen

I love to walk my dog in the wonderful and quiet area of the black forrest where i live! I really enjoy nature, hiking, sports, reading, travelling, different cultures and local traditions.
I also like to drink coffee a lot! So I'm always looking for cosy cafes or restaurans as a basis to start or a destination during walks/hikes!

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

First of all:
In 2014 I made my dream come true and freed a dog from a shelter in Greece. I went to Athens and picked up Bono to get him to Germany. He was rather traumatized as he was thrown over a fence in the shelter when he was only a few days old. For 2 years he lived in kennels and didn't experience love, warmth, games, cuddling, the feeling of having a home or to be free.
When we reached my house he was afraid of everything you could think of. It took weeks and months until he trusted me and walked out of the house to explore the world and all it has to offer for him! He learned to play, run, cuddle, to
be free and is now the happiest and loveliest dog ever! He has so much to give and enriches my life in so many ways!
So, the most wonderful thing I've seen in my life is Bono's way to become a free dog!

Second:
Traveling through New Zealand
It's quite some time ago now but the time I spent in NZ has changed my life! The people I've met, the experiences I've made and above all the nature I have seen... One of my favorite places in New Zealand: Lake Matheson!
