About Me

I´m the german guy: in time, tidy, rational. At least I try.
I´m the guy with a beard and a motorcycle.
I´m tattooed, pierced and know how to behave.
I´m going to be a teacher for economics (vocational training).
I´m faithful, relaxed and sometimes got a dark humor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I´m a real Newbie on CS, but I hope it will increase my personality in many aspects. Since I never was a big traveller, I intend to put a change on that. Therefore, after inspired by a trip to India, I bought myself a motorcylce to expand my my mobility and make Europe my home. This way, travelling isn´t about transport hubs anymore and I got the freedom to visit places more directly. To fill all the beautiful places with life I stumbled over CS hoping I will meet interesting people and get to know their ways of life. To sum it up: I´m on CS to experience the various people, places, ways, language and cultures of my world while offering my own stories, friendship and help. So it´s about moving. :-)

Interests

Obviously, my bike is central. She carries me along my way. So you probably meet us two together. :-D With this along comes an interest for machines, of course. I love moving, especially bouldering (it´s climbing on "small" rocks/boulders without rope). I love to learn about cultures and the diffrent regions. Linking to that, I´m interested in history. And food, of course. Is there anyone not loving food? I love media (see books, music, etc.).

Music, Movies, and Books

As said, I love media. Like punkrock, Tarantino, David Mitchell, Jazz, Star Wars, Terry Pratchett, folk music and much much more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking alone in India was pretty amazing, no question. Besides that, I think amazingness isn´t to find in faster-higher-better but in the humility and the goodness of your daily deeds.

Teach, Learn, Share

If I´m not on my bike, I try to learn. Since I´m going to be a teacher, learning is a central aspect of my life. This comes along with teaching, of course. But I´m pretty sure you don´t want me to teach you economy aspects. But I like to learn and share language practicing. My French is pretty bad and I intend to improve it the next year. This year, I´m pretty occupied with italian.

I really want to share my place with other couchsurfers, but unfortunately, my shared flat I live in is not suitable for this. :-( Hopefuly that will change someday.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to talk, eat, drink, go out...well, since im coming with just little luggage and myself, that´s the only things I can offer. :-) But I´m pretty sure that I´m not a boring person and able to make my stay enriching for both of us. Besides I know how to handle a pan and stuff, am a born boardgame-loser and of course may take you for a ride.
