Hey there. I am Ivo. Yep, that is my real name. I grew up in a small village next to Celle. For my studies I moved to Osnabrueck. I live together with my girlfriend Kristin and our son, Enno.
I am an open minded person. During my travells I already noticed, that I can get along with nearly every person and circumstances.

I think, that some day you will always receive back good things you are doing to others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just like to meet people and found out about couchsurfing on my own.
I was always waiting for the moment I receive my first request, because less people want to visit Celle. When it happened I was unable to host, because I left to collect my own experiences around the world. But now I am back and hope to give back my good expierences.

Until now I had some great experiences and met a lot of nice people. I am surprised over and over again how nice people are. Hope to have more of these experiences during my trip and after.

Interests

I like to meet friends, sometimes haveing a beer or even just hang out and talk. I really like to play parlor games, so if you have some cool stuff please show me. If you do not play games I am also interested in cooking new, maybe country typical recipes.

While I am traveling,I like to go hiking and do some other stuff in the nature. To discover cities is nice, but I prefer the nature, culture and history.
Of course, when I do city trips I want to see the city.

Music, Movies, and Books

Can't fix them, because I do not have special genres, authors or musicians.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled the world for 12 months with my girlfriend and experienced a lot of things, meeting a lot of interesting people, had some great food and conversations.

To much things to write all of them down, but I am more then happy to share them with you personally if you are interested in.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am young, but all in all I think, that you are never to old to learn new things. Hopefully I will follow this advise when I am.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my life and my home with you, once you are at our place.
I can share my personality with you, once I am at you place.

I can offer some stories about my trips, of course. Things I've done or people I've met. If I have time I usually like to cook a nice meal for all of us. I think, that I am a clean and polite guy. I can be a listener, can tell you stories, watch movies with you or go out for party. I am quite flexible.

I can show you the city I am living in. I can go out for a beer in some nice bars I can show you.
