Overview
About Me
I am a young, witty, open minded Medical Student and Slam Poet who wants to finally see the world, experience different cultures and countries and live life to the fullest.
"Semester break" is nothing but a different word for "traveling".
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Apart from often being ruinously expensive, staying in Hotels has a much more severe downside: Being isolated in the monotone appearance of an ever-same kind of Ibis hotel room, you miss the most important point of visiting another country: You are almost guaranteed to experience the country like the tourist agency wants it to be represented, not how it really is. Couchsurfing, for me, is an opportunity to get out more of my visits to foreign places.

Music, Movies, and Books
🎼
Apart from the most drastic parts of Metal I am actually open for every kind of music and love getting new inputs. I listen what I like – and that's a broad range. Sorry for being open-minded concerning that 😉

Teach, Learn, Share
In exchange for you hospitality, I could teach you some German words, philosophize with you about different religions and attitudes towards life, compare our experience, share a few interesting stories – if you have time and would like to do so, of course.
Furthermore, I am not bad at cooking.
