CURRENT MISSION

see some places in Europe I haven't seen, prepare for my big Iceland adventure, get some tunes together that are suitable for ukulele

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly guy, love to play guitar and make music. I am quite social most of the time, like to go out and meet friends. Open for all kinds of stuff. If you're lucky I can show you around in Cologne when not too busy.

PHILOSOPHY

If you treat other people like strangers, they are more likely to treat you as a stranger. Open up your mind and make the first step!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I provide a couch if possible in Cologne. My flat is in Ehrenfeld, quite central.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met a lot of friendly people and had nice adventures in Samoa, New Zealand, San Francisco, Mexico and Oz. Had guests from Russia, New Zealand, France, Israel, the States... funny, but most of them were not even on CS.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked through the jungle in Central America for a couple of days. That was probably the most amazing thing I've ever done... Most of my friends are amazing, too. Sometimes, meeting a special person is worth more than every journey.
