Hey Fellas, I used to study a bit of project and change management in the Netherlands (Zwolle) but I quit the programme in favour of a less applied and more scientific study programme, and ended up with political science and law studies (so much for that) in Germany (Münster). What's more, I like the outdoors but cities as well; travelling in general has become very important for me. I'm part of a Germany-Tanzania exchange programme that we organise ourselves which I think is really exciting, developed a bit of a passion for the East African part of this world (but that's not exclusive to other regions). I am very much interested in social change and that's where I'm headed after finishing my law studies - putting that to good effect hopefully. In the meantime (study break), I plan to take a container ship to travel a far distance, preferably to Canada, in sort of a de-acceleration self-experiment. Before that, I'll go to Italy and Greece - at the latter of which I wanna do some voluntary work. That's what I'm up to more or less atm. I really like music and a good conversation during leisure time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Personal contacts are really valuable when travelling and I cherish acquaintances from around the globe. If you stay with me I'll eagerly grab a beer with you and have a nice chat.

Interests

music, although I suck at playing music, travelling, social change and advocacy are fascinating, i used to play tennis a lot, but my shoulder is mashed potatoes now. Update: physio seems to work and climbing is a great sport too.

Music, Movies, and Books

I figured I should read Nietzsche since everybody kept on referring me to his works when I said I am not religious back when I was studying abroad in Turkey

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I supported the research for a campaign targeted at the Norwegian Public Pension Fund to withdraw its investments in mainly coal and related environmentally hazardous industries which it eventually did.

Teach, Learn, Share

that's a tough one...I could share some of my travel photos with you, some movies, some music. maybe one or two cooking recipes that I can do.

What I Can Share with Hosts

a garden, a hammock, food, tea (lots of tea), maybe a bike, a big and comfy couch in my room but depending on the situation I can also leave you the whole room and crash on my flatmate's couch
