About Me

Hey there,
I'm a german student going to asia and hope to meet many people and make the most out of my time here before going back to germany.

About me:
I always try to be open mined and grab every chance I get to try something new.
I graduated recently and plan to travel for a year before studying Informatics once im back home and im already looking forward to university

Also I hope to host in the future but that needs to wait till next year when I get my own appartment but if you're reading this and by some weird accident come to my region you're free to be my guest so I can finally return all the favors I've gotten from other surfers :)

Current Mission is my gap year with my europe trip which has been an amazing experience and my work and travel trip in new zealand which I can hopefully follow up with an asia/russia trip.

I dont know if this is what people expect to read when visiting my profile but always feel free to ask me anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In my opinion Couchsurfing is the most interesting way to get around and get to know people and makes your time way more interesting than staying in a boring hotel.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love rock & metal but there are all kinds of awesome music and I generelly listen to everything.
Only german rap is often horrible you can chase me with that stuff.

As for books I dont even know where to start.
There are so many great books but The Count of Monte Christo was my favorite in 2016
and Anna Karenina my favorite of 2017.

My favorite authors would probably be
Hermann Hesse,
Fyodor Dostoyevsky,
Brandon Sanderson,
George R. R. Martin,
Stephen King

Currently im reading all the good old classics and started with german autors.
Now I'm following that up with russian authors and probably go on with english literature and hope to learn more about eastern culture/literature.

I always look for book recommendation so please tell me about your favorite book.
I cant tell you when I will read it but I definitly will at some point!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Best experience so far definitly my gap year and im not even finished.
And the craziest probably going back to germany from cambodia by train.

Teach, Learn, Share

Im not sure what I can share at my age so I'd rather listen than teach but I have many topics im passionate about and hopefully could contribute something intersting/useful :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Im a really talkative person so you definitly will not get bored.
Im a decent cook for my age so if you are interested in some german cuisine Im sure we'll find somthing.

Im also really open towards everything I havent tried yet so if you have something you want to try or share count me in.

Austria, Czech Republic, England, France, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Romania, Spain, Switzerland
