I'm Jan from Germany, until summer 2017 I was living in a small place in the north-western part, just there, where the flat german north begins to be hilly. I sold everything and now I'm traveling :-)

Ich speak German; English, which should be enough for conversations and I started trying learning spanish. Had to learn french, but that is gone.

I really like traveling. Amazing places I've been to were Albania - really great country (amazing landscapes, ...) with great people, Georgia (I really recoment traveling there).

In summer 2016 I've been cycling around the baltic sea. It was a great experience. Some kind of freedom combined with meeting a lot of nice and friendly people.
This motivated me to start something even nicer - started going around the world in summer 2017 :-)

At home my bike is my every-day-riding-to-work-vehicle and after work it helps me to come down and see and feel the nature. A propos nature: I really like the world with its beauty and I often try small things to make it just a little bit better. Bad people, bad things and evil plans (beginning with people throwing rubbish on the street and going to weapons and war) don't make me angry, they make me really sad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am always interested in different cultures and ways of living and for me couchsurfing is an amazing way to meet people, share experiences, having a great time, learning from each other, ...
It's a good way to make traveling an experience you will remember your whole life while getting to know the world :-)

Interests

for some reason I'm interested and can listen to almost everything ;-)
and i like food :-D
cycling, nature, sports, bouldering, cooking, ...
