31 years old from Germany, trying to get away from it all (except from my fiancée, who will be my travel companion) and see what the world still has in store for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My girlfriend (the gal next to me in the picture) and I are about to embark on an Do-it-yourself-around-the-world-adventure, starting in Halifax, Canada in May 2017. So naturally, I'm looking for hosts when the going gets tough or there's no accomodation to be found elsewhere. After this experience, I'm sure I'll be hosting as many people as I can myself.

Interests

New-found love for the outdoors (esp. hiking and kayaking), talk, walks, games, reading, chilling, enjoying a nice evening after a day's work, and much more.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Everything that sticks after hearing it once, be it a melody or the lyrics. Examples are KoL, J. Cole, Genesis, Foo Fighters, Mumford and Sons, Jack Johnson, Dispatch. List could go on forever. Probably described best as "diverse".

Movies: All-time favorite is Pulp Fiction, but there's so much here as well that a list might put you to sleep. If the movie provokes a thought or simply entertains me, chances are that I like it. Examples are Wall-E, Lucky # Slevin, Interstellar, Home Alone, Snatch, Rain Man.

Books: Too many to list, as well. Has to be a page turner (though I usually make my way through it once I've started one). Examples are Kingkiller Chronicles, The Passage Trilogy, Grisham's early works.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most recently hiked all the way down to the Colorado River during the day and back up to the rim at night.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't know if there's anything I can teach anybody. One of my traits is listening and the will to learn once something interests me. I can be pretty persistent.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Talking about anything and everything until late in the night, hardly refined cooking skills, stories from travels past, and being a serious threat at any kind of game.
