I am a phd student at the University of Cologne and currently working as a part time programmer. I am an old soul trying to rejuvenate who loves the outdoors, nature and new cultures so I am glad to have had the chance to travel a lot over the years (e.g., Namibia, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Nepal, USA) but many more places remain to be discovered - if not by my own presence hopefully by stories, pictures or other shared experiences :)

My goal in life is to create step-by-step a sustainable existence for myself and others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

To be honest at the moment I mostly trust curated playlists in the area of Alternative, Pop, Rock, Ambient, sometimes Classic. Favorite Bands and Artists include: Two door cinema club, red hot chilli peppers, Foo Fighters, Bob Dylan, etc. For dancing I generally prefer house or electro but I am trying to stay open to new experiences :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Work on my own phd project without losing my mind :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Love is everywhere and keeps us going. Invest in love and compassion and reap what you sow.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I genuinely like conversations. I have been told to be a good listener. Given some time, I like to see and discover the light in people.
