About Me

Currently, I'm working as an engineer in Energy Technologies. Though I'm trying to become author instead.

At the moment I don't have as much time for the things I want in life, as I wish I would. I worked a little bit too much, or at the wrong place. NOW I want to get back to meeting foreigners, having fun or just help them on their journee with a place to sleep.

I am doing kickboxing and yoga in my sparetime, I'd love to learn, speak or LIVE more languages. But as far as I don't come to use it, i just tend to Forget a Little bit (French, italian). As well I don't take enough time for learning piano Right now. Tho i'd love to talk About it, start learning again. There was nearly enough space to sink into a good book or keep on writing my own amateurish prose or novels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Deep down I am probably just looking for input and experiences to write about. The first and only times, I have been here, I travelled and studied in California and missed to organize a place to sleep for the first two to three weeks.

Now I want to offer other travellers a place to sleep, until I start travelling a little bit myself again for writing purposes. Since I live in HAMM (in Westphalia), cities like MÜNSTER or DORTMUND are pretty easy to reach by train. There is public transport nearby and you reach the trainstation within ten minutes.
