About Me

CURRENT MISSION

get sun burnt on the beaches of andalusia...

ABOUT ME

I'm a 24-year-old student from Germany. At the moment I 'm doing a year abroad in American Culture at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. But more than studying I hope to get around the north american continent while in the US.

I've seen a lot of the us on earlier trips the east coast, florida, the south and this march I spent 7 weeks couchsurfing from california to NYC with my good friend Marius. While in Ann Arbor I already spent a fun weekend in Chicago with blues, cocktails and mexian food and I went to the national equality march in washington!

I like to hang out with friends, play soccer, squash, tennis, ping-pong.
I so enjoy playing the guitar and the bass guitar and you can check out some of my (old) band's music on mysace.com/jackrabbitslimz!
I love learning languages and every year or so I try out a different one, while never mastering anything but English, I fear ;)

I'll be glad to meet you on the road and stay on your couch for a night or two or host u!!!

PHILOSOPHY

I hate being repetitive, but... well... only on phrase captures it neatly enough: Rock'N'Roll M*******KER!
