Overview
About Me
I am an courteous, open minded and adventurous person. I am looking out for new experiences. I love to do outdoor sports for example, always searching for a new thrill.
Cooking and dining together is a very good way to get into a personal conversation for sharing any kind of information. However, thats not the only point which makes me looving food at all, of course. And its a very good way to slow down the day!
Keep on reading, I guess all other points will tell you more about me.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I would like to meet interesting people and get in touch with their culture habbits and interests.
Its not only some principle of give and receive. So on one hand I am happy to companion or simply host someone who´s travelling alone. And on the other hand of course, I would like to be able to couchsurf in other countries. But the enrichment of me and the host or hosting person by our personal exchange is the main part at all. Over all, I hope to experience abiding and special memories.
However, my sister brought me in touch with couchsurfing, as she once told me about her personal feeling how happy she felt when she finally found a place to stay. So I am happy to give this feeling to other surfers too and guess its simply a generous gesture to do so. However, overall I would say I am a social beeing.
Interests
I love to be outside the house and to be active, rather than spending a day on the couch. Like I listed some favourite activities, interests and characteristics in the following. Feel free to ask if you have a question.
Sports: biking, jogging, swimming, climbing, bouldering, hiking, snowboarding
Coffee, talking, reading and chilling, either together or alone.
Nature: keep it clean and intakt is important to me and its part of my daily dealing. I am concerned about our environment and the climate change and I try my best to live in balance with my interests, my hobbies and those pursuits.
Politics: I am interested in peoples view of government, actual situations and political happenings. And in the german ongoings as well. I am not an expert, so please consider that your knowledge is probably broader than mine.

Music, Movies, and Books
The Kooks, The Raconteurs, Clueso, Florence and the Machine, .... and so many more but thats what I thought at this moment ....
Carlos Ruiz Zafons Barcelona trilogy
I like to watch action movies, comedies, thriller, tragedies, ...., I dont like horror so much. But if you absolutely must, we can do this too.
I also watched some series, but series in general are not my favorite stuff. I like to be outside and to be active.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Alleycat in essen (ruhr area)
Wildwater rafting at the oberere isar (austria) aaaand the upper ganges (india)
Climbing, instead of my more and more disappearing fear of height
Which amazing thing can we do together?
Teach, Learn, Share
I am a snowboard teacher, so if you like and we can find a spot, lets go!
I love it!
Time.
Like if you are staying at my place and you like to do something or go somewhere, give up a suggestion, convince and take me with you! :)
What I Can Share with Hosts
My impressions of living, travels, live .... Some food .... But please do not expect a chef in me. If you like, we can simply order a pizza. Or cinema, or go out for a drink? However, beeing a German, I most times like to drink a bottle of beer or a glas of wine .... Time ....
