About Me

My spelling is pretty bad and I do appreciate comments about mistakes on my page!

I guess I'm quite the nerd, but in no way socially awkward. (At least that's what I think. Haha!)

I'm the kind of guy who much preferes a pub over a club.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am not planning any trips right now, but I love to have guests.

Earlier this year I had a visitor (a stranger then) who was here in Leipzig for the German Katholics day and while I am not part of that church, and him being about 40 years older than me, it was a great thing. This inspired me to become a member here.

- Everything Fantasy or SciFi can be great

Music:
- If it is live, anything that feels "honest" will work for me
- Genre wise Jazz and Metal broadly
- Folk influences into other genres can be great
- My music taste will change with context, but I guess that is just normal

- And lots more although I am not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to movies.

TV Series:
- Doctor Who
- Game of Thrones (Like half the world)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A trip from Germany to Vladivostok by train and bus, but don't get me started, I might never stop talking!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach me about games you play! I'll gladly do the same.

Also cooking. I think I make a decent pizza. (To the point where an Italian might not instantly try to kill me. I'm doing my best. I swear!)
I am also proud of my pan fried potatoes and very picky when I eat them elsewhere. If they are not crispy it's already over.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will probably always bring some kind of game that I will gladly introduce everyone to. Also I would be happy to cook for you, even happier to cook with you!
