Hey, my name is Jonas, I'm 24 years old and currently studying English and educatinal science to become a teacher at Bielefeld University. I grew up and stayed in Bielefeld my whole life, except for one year in which a worked as an au pair in the Netherlands.
I love getting to know new people, making music with friends and playing Quidditch (#BielefelderBasilisken).
Beside my studies, I am working with handicapped people, giving tutoring lessons to pupils and volunteer in my local YMCA (which does not mean that I am a religious person! :-D)

I am an open-minded person who would love to show you around Bielefeld, if you would like me to, or have interesting conversations or a beer in the evening. (But of course, you could also just rest and relax :-D )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the possibility to explore Europe and other parts of the world without relying heavily on savings. As a student, I am chronically 'poor' and can therefore understand other people in similar situations. I like the idea of couchsurfing because no one should be limited by his/her financial situation when it comes to opening his/her own horizon: And travelling and getting to know new people is the key element for that purpose.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have lived in Naarden-Bussum (NL) for one year a got to know so many lovely people. I kid of fell in love with the Dutch way of living and like to visit Amsterdam as often as possible.

My next country crush is Namibia, where I spent a month volunteering and travelling around. That's the reason why Toto's 'Africa' give me an even more intense chill than the song actually does :-D

Teach, Learn, Share

I can hold speeches on English, especially British, history, the history of the English language and the British monarchs, if you are interested in that...(It's kinda boring, though...)

We can have evening full of music, company and joy with friends of mine.

What I Can Share with Hosts

You can feel free to use my whole flat including bathroom and kitchen.
