Hi there,

my name is Constantin, I'm a webdeveloper from Cologne, Germany. I live with my girlfriend Franziska in Ehrenfeld, one of the hippest neighborhoods in Cologne. I joined Couchsurfing because I like to travel and meet new people - which is probably what everybody is writing on their profile. I'd be glad to host people from all over the world and in return get to know other people's homes and lives.

PLEASE READ BEFORE REQUESTING TO STAY

Dear surfers, please be aware, that I cannot accept last minute requests. I work full-time and have a lot of additional projects (both business and hobbies), so I probably can't accept your request if you send me a request 1 or 2 days before the actual date. Requesting to stay with me is best if you ask me about 2 weeks beforehand. Thank you!

CURRENT MISSION

I used to run my own company (Webdevelopment agency) with two friends for about 3 years, but we recently split up due to some differences and we are all working as employees now. Although I do enjoy this situation right now as it is comfortable not being "the boss", I do miss being able to carry out my own ideas and projects. My plan is to work as an employee for some time now and then start my own company again in the near future.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am completely new to couchsurfing and would like to surf during my trip to the United States next year. Of course I'd love to host people here in cologne!

INTERESTS

I'm all about expanding my horizons right now. "Surround yourself with people who are cooler than you" is the motto I'm living by - so I'm very eager to meet those people out there who will inspire me and make want reach higher heights. Get at me!

If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch!
