About Me

I am not really sure how to just describe myself. Better pay attention to the boxes underneath, but if I should do it shortly, I would say. I am a calm guy which want's people to be happy and get's more humorous the longer you know him. I am fascinated by strangers and their storys and want to expand my horizon by getting to know people from all over the world.

This was my most recent trip:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I discovered hitchhiking about a few months ago for me, I love adventures and travelling, but I don't have the money for it. Places to sleep are ridiculously expensive, even though beds with roof overs them are everywhere. Or just roofs, or backyards I don't have any high standards.
Let's just get the world more connected!

Interests

At the moment I am freshly finished with my 10 month Exchange to the United States. It turned me quite an environmentalist (a bit more Hippie too, hehe). No worries, I won't annoy you over the way you separate your trash or drive your car :D.
I also like to get politically and socially active, I am active in students representation, write a blog for a subpage of the German government and you can find me at this or that demonstration.
Now and then I view the moon, planets stars nebulas etc. through my telescope or go to my local observatory. I also like making time lapses of them. It just overwhelms me and makes me think what I am part of.
But I also just do the casual stuff with my friends, like going to the theater, cinema, a little party and I looove festivals! Less the EDM stuff though, more like rock, folk, world etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am really into alternative or indie rock and the 60's . I am currently also really into Australian Rock. But I also seem to like every British rock band which starts with "the". The Beatles, The Animals, The Who and so on.
When it comes to Books I am often intrigued by dystopian novels. The last book I read was 1984 by George Orwell and some Sci-Fi stories from Ray Bradbury. I like to read to built character and educate myself!

When it comes to movies and series I can firstly say, that I love science fiction, Doctor Who, Star Trek, Star Wars (but I am more of a trekkie), and so on. But my favorite movie is interstellar, because of it's philosophical note.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked through Scandinavia with my friends and made an half-hour documentary out of it. It's only in German though..

What I Can Share with Hosts

I hope I can provide good conversations, jokes and hugs. I got various hitchhiking and exchange stories and love to tell them! Otherwise I could also help a bit in the household, doing the dishes, cleaning, groceries (if you trust me :D). Maybe basic computer problems (again, if you trust me :)
I can also help out in the garden and know how to handle a screwdriver.

But please leave me some time for seeing the city!
