About Me

A 32-years-old burning soul, always striving for lively moments of intensity. Working as a political representative (lobbyist is a bit too shallow, but it's the easiest to understand, I guess :D) for a trade association in Berlin.

I grew up in Düsseldorf, left this city after 22 great years and fled to London in order to do my MA at King's College London. In 2015 I graduated in Political Economy (MA), moved to Frankfurt where I worked for a while, returned to Düsseldorf in 2017 and theen moved to Berlin in 2023! So, kinda took my last chance to fully experience this city as a young lad :P

I'm eagerly looking forward to living in and exploring more places in this fascinating world and meeting great couchsurfing folks along the way :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been living in London for a few weeks when I realised how great it is to live in such a diverse city and I became even more interested in getting to know people from all over the world than prior to this episode of my life.

Also, I'm a hobby musician and in 2012, I began to write songs in various different languages - with the knowledge of people from Croatia, Estonia, Portugal, Sweden and other countries. I'm always eager to write songs in the domestic language of the people I hosted :)

Why am I still on Couchsurfing? It's the fantastic experience. During my Master's studies, I hosted five great personalities. Later on, I traveled across Europe and occasionally surfed by myself. Couchsurfing offers a very rare opportunity to combine three things: Enhancing one's perception of what human beings actually are, saving money you can use for exploring and experiencing stunning celebrations you wouldn't even think about before.

Interests

Experiencing and making music; organizing and celebrating crazy events, philosophy and politics; writing books; Marathon; spending nights on endless drinking or enjoyment with Mary Jane for those who know :P
