Hello, I'm Jonathan :)
I study philosophy and economics in my second year at the University of Bayreuth in Germany. I'm an open and positive person who loves (vegan) cooking, debating (about whatever topic you want to talk about (preferred peanut butter or chocolate creams)), meditating and has no clue how to best sell myself here ;)
I'm really interested in making the world a better place and try to implement this mindset in as many areas of my life as possible. In order to really have a positive impact on the world with my career, I want to go into politics after Uni.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get to know new interesting people to get new perspectives and opinions. Share stories with inspiring people and get to know "locals".
