About Me

I am a sociable and open minded person, looking for more opportunities to break free from the shackles of daily routine.

I freelance in IT, so I am naturally happy to chat about anything tech related, but I am even more interested in having a good talk about life, science, emotions, philosophy or politics - and to get to know different perspectives on these topics to widen my horizon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because it's a new and refreshing way of getting to know people, travel the world and break out of my comfort zone at the same time!

Interests

I prefer walking around a city to laying on a beach. When on vacation, I get overly energetic and do lots of urban exploration on foot. I like visiting museums, discovering the architecture and local cuisines.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good time I hope. Also I would like to do fun stuff with you like games, listening to music or just chat.
If not, no problem, I'm very uncomplicated I guess.
