About Me

CURRENT MISSION

After finishing school 2015 I decided to take a gap year to travel the world.
Together with 4 of my closest friends, I started going on a big journey through Malaysia, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand. After visiting the Asian destinations, I'm now heading towards Auckland, New Zealand.

ABOUT ME

I am a 20 year old student from hamburg Germany. I'm a funny guy who likes good conversations and nice humor. Philosophical talks and new perspectives on the world as well as new people are some reasons, why I like travelling so much.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is for me a great way to visit places in a different way, not the usual touristic approach. It is for me a money saving way to see the places I travel to more like a local than as a tourist and of course a way to find new friends all over the world.

The best things in the world do not cost anything ;)

Interests

Well I am interested in a lot of different things. To name some : sports like football, karate, gym, all kinds of boardssports such as surfing, longboarding, snowboarding, biking, downhill biking, esports etc.
Diving and Skating are both big passions of mine aswell.
I also played the cello for some years. Throughout my travels I came up with the idea to start playing the guitar and the drums.
I like to take the day and make the best out of it and I think I will be a good roommate and interlocutor.

Music, Movies, and Books

In terms of music I like to have most variety as possible. I like to listen to rock punk house electro and hip hop especially rap. I just went to the biggest German hip hop festival SPLASH! Near Berlin.
Hence I've been travelling for the last six months I couldn't watch too many movies, but to name some of my all time favorites: the tarrantino movies, fight club, dicarpio movies, Lord of the Rings.
When I was younger I read a lot of fantasy books but now I'm more into thriller.
At the moment I'm reading yussi Adler olsons Carl Mørck novels.
