Hey fellow travelers and hosts,
I'm Jan, 22 years old and from Essen, Germany.
I took a gap year last year, worked in USA and lived and travelled through Beautiful Australia. That's where I tried CS first and found it as perfect thing for myself. I have surfed just twice yet, but I'm looking forward for much more CS experiences.. Cause I still live at my parents house it's kinda hard to host people, but when I got my first apartment I wanna host as well.

Yeah I don't know what I should write more, so in case someone wants to know something more.. Go for it and ask ;-)
Cheers

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like everyone on CS I like meeting new people, having good conversations and seeing places in a different perspective. But my main reason is to gather many new experiences, friends and storys, I can tell my children of.

Interests

Traveling, football ( the real one, not American ), volleyball, photography, going out, surfing even though I'm awful, meeting new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Its hard to choose on moment as the most amazing one. Every single experience and moment in your life is gonna be amazing for you at a certain time. Even if you don't understand the value of it straight, there will be a time when you realize the true value of it. But stop being so philosophical. Traveling through Oz with all its beauty was definitely one of my fav. things. Sleeping on airports, watching sunsets and don't knowing where you go and sleep.
I've visited Shanghai with 15 years ( just for 2 weeks, but on my own).

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach German, Learn every other language and culture, Share German food. And of course having awesome conversations about whatever 😜
