ABOUT ME

Hey!

I´m John, I grew up in Wiesbaden, the capital of Hessen. During my youth I did allot of sports, from soccer, table tennis to handball. But what I like the most is skateboarding. As Wiesbaden is a valey everybody lives on the hillside. So longboarding is my favorite tipe of transportation - decending down the hill to the city center. Where I work in a LEGO store, a "outdors equipment" store and on constructionsides if needed.
Apart of sports and working to earn money for the next trip I love fotografy.
I like taking fotos of Landscapes and people especialy with a mathe in the streets of Argentina.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn Learn Learn and get to know a bunch of different types of life. Be oppen and nice and you will get it back. Fun and having a good time is the most important though!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by beeing me and so have people stay at my house to get to know me and some of Germany. And shurly by travelling bringing fun and good times to the world! haha!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I only have few experience with couchsurfing. But I have travelled with Servas wich is prety similar to couchsurfing only that it works with adressbooks for countries wich you borrow from the organisation for the durance of your trip. With Servas I made great experiences. Travelling through spain for three weaks me and my friend stayd with various charachters. Got to know different tipes of lives, learned a bunch os spanish and got to know the -special places- of the cities where we stayed. So all in all super deluxe! Made friends, got a much deeper look into the countries and contributed to a culterul exchange!
