About Me

I'm a more or less average mid twenty, a little lost, a little naiv, always looking for a good time and trying to take life as easy as possible.
I love to meet new people, listen to their life story, chatting about random stuff with them, singing, laughing and doing fun stuff.
Whenever the weather is with me, I'll be outside, hiking, wanderin, biking or just hang out with friends next to a river or a lake playing mini games.

I am comitted to a handball club, what takes a lot of my time capacities. During Off-Season, I want to try new/ other sports and travel and explore different places.

I lived in Los Angeles, CA for 5 months and travelled more or less the whole west coast. It was an enlightening experience, through which I met amazing people, who will be friends for life.
That's what I'm searching for with couch surfing. I wanna have a good time with you, not only hosting you but sharing my apartment and my time with you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We travelled the U.S. American west coast but couldn't find a campground in Portland, OR, so we drove around and met those three guys, where two of them are living together in a house with two other people. One of them left for the weekend (it was thanksgiving) so the guys offered us to stay with them for the night. That was my first couch surfing experience I made without using this website. But this experience reveiled the spirit of couch surfing to me, so I decided to give it a try and sign in.

Aaaand, here I am.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to read without any serious preferencies. I study German literaturacy, so I'm more educated in this range.
Since I'm reading a lot, I'm not that much into movies. I like documentaries about nature and wild life as well as tarentino movies. Sometimes, I even watch Rom-Coms with Hugh Grant - no judgement for that!

I love music, especially life music and concerts and try to attend as many as possible of them with friends. In my everyday life, I listen to Rock and old school HipHop the most, but when I'm travelling or hosting other people I wanna learn about music from their country, likewise traditional music and modern music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a roadtrip along the U.S. American westcoast with two Italian girls I met through my internship in L.A.
We travelled in a small van for eight days and shared so many amazing experiences and learnt a lot about each other as well as about ourselves.
One great experience that I made was the one, that made me sign up on couch surfing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to talk about social phenomena and social relations and learn through those conversations about human thoughts and feelings (others would call me curious and interested in gossip - and they may be right..). I appreciate a glass of good red wine, snacks and music coming with theese talks.
I share almost everything, mi casa es tu casa.

Cooking is my passion, without any cultural preferencies as long as it makes me happy but I'd love to share German recipes I learnt from my grandma and my mother or just prepare tradtional dishes for you.

During my stay in the U.S.A. I got caught on board sports. I'm a miserable skier but I'm even a worse skater and surfer. I really wanna work on that and I'd be more than grateful if you could work with me on that.
