Hi guys, I'm Jakob a 32 years young person who live in Rostock which is located at the baltic sea. For most of the time I would describe myself as an cheerful and openminded person with a wide range of interests with whom you can have a lot of fun and who is eager to increase his knowledge about the world and other cultures. I can get along very well with all different kinds of poeple.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience new things and create new memories. Also i think it is a great way to get in touch with locals and discover their country and the culture in an affordable way.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
Well tough question probably the classic ones (since nowadays you rather watch series) like Lord of the rings/Hobbit, The Prestige, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Leon the professional, Love Actually (love and Christmas - you can't beat this), fracture, Split, The Wolf of Wall Street etc. ...and almost any film with an unexpected twist at the end. I try to avoid dramas because usually you have enough of that in your own life.

Books:
Evolution went from "Lustige Taschenbücher" (Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck etc.) --- Karl May-Books (Winnetou, Old Shatterhand, Orient) --- fantasy-books for teenager (Harry Potter etc.) --- John Grisham-books --- fantasy books for adults (a song of ice and fire, the wheel of time, The Painted Man) --- crime books (Fitzek etc.)

Music:
To be honest my music-taste covers a really wide spectrum ranging from german singer/songwriter to rock/indie to electro and maybe once in a while selected hip-hop-songs. Examples are Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Incubus, Tomte, Kettcar, Madsen, Fynn Kliemann, Foo Fighters, Moby and many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well they say it's the little things that count: I was on a vacation in Italy and it was raining cats and dogs, like the kind where you are complettely soaked after just 1 minute and i was walking or rather running down the streets to search for some protection and suddenly a car stopped right beside, a man got out and ran after me just to donate his umbrella to me. Needless to say by the time he was back in his car he also wasn't exactly dry anymore.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you about german culture and habits and of course teach you the language if you want that.
