Dear Surfers, please read the whole profile (including the couch section) before writing me. Thanks for writing ONLY personal requests!

Hi, I'm Jens and I always loved traveling. Many Couchsurfers stayed with me in Dresden arround 2004/2005. I always wanted to return and so I was offering my couch in Feldkirch Austria and now in Rötha!

Since 2021 I'm married with my wonderful wife Nicole and we life as a patchwork family in Rötha so there is often a free room for friends and guests.
I'm working form home so it a easy stay even in the week. If I have to leave you also have to leave the flat. I dont give my keys to strangers.
Rötha is pretty close to Leipzig and if I have some time I'm willing to show you around in Leipzig. I love to socialize and spend night's talking with a good beer.

What I don't like at all is freeloading. If you stay at my place think of your possibilities to give something back for your free place, free shower and maybe even free food.
It's as easy as doing the dishes, cooking or helping with the housework.
This is my home not yours, but I want you to be comfortable, ask questions, and to relax.
I'm very interested in your religion and your lifestyle but missioneering is not allowed. Otherwise I'll kick you out of my house.

Photography and especially street photography is my passion. (See pictures)
At Summertime you can find me at the lakes swimming and relaxing. Actually trying to get a good freestyle stroke. It's still hard and sometimes frustrating. So if you can teach me I would be so happy.

Why do I offer my couch? I just want to give back some of the hospitality I was allowed to experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to support travelers to have a really nice time. Even those who can not afford it.
I like sharing my few things to help and I care a lot for my guests.
As I don't have much time for traveling nowadays
I'm looking forward to your crazy journey stories!
