About Me

Hey there and thank you for finding me!

I am a Bavarian living in Berlin and doing graphic design. Whenever my status of digital enslavement permits, I like to escape to warm places, because you guessed it, the weather is not always great in Berlin. 

I don’t just go for a different climate though, I also go for different altitude (easy), different food, different plants and of course different people (although admittedly there are all kinds of different people in Berlin). So if you are reading this, there is a great chance that, you are checking one or all of these boxes - which makes me want to visit and hang out! 

I love art exhibitions, drinking coffee, raves, spontaneous road trips and pizza. I've so far only had great experiences with couch surfers - if we meet, the odds clearly are in our favor!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to hear stories and I like to tell stories. If you keep hanging with the same crowd, the stories get old. So sometimes you need to go meet someone new who can tell you about that time they got ripped off terribly by a tuktuk driver.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook meals from different countries. I've lived in Germany, Australia, Sweden and the US. The world's best food clearly does not come from these, but fortunately I know recipes from other nations as well. I can also give you advise on any sort of creative/ visual project. 

You can teach me whatever and I'll probably be reasonably excited about it. Just don't try to teach me chess.
