Hey, I am Julian.
I am a very open minded person and I want to explore as many cultures as possible. When I am travling, I like to travel on low budget because it is the best way to meet locals and to experiece a country as it is while avoiding tourist-traps. People who don't travel or don't exchange with strangers often mistrust people they don't know (maybe because the media only report what they think is worth a story and that unfortunatelly is mostly negative...). Therefore traveling strongly influenced my character and showed me the good sides of the world and its people.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a good way to get in contact with local people while travelling. During a hitchhiking race I took part in, my team was spontaniously invited by our drivers a few times. This was the best experience I ever had.
Hosting People is like traveling in another country as well; you learn the habits of different people and you explore your local area in a new way because you see its beauty through the eyes of a stranger.

音乐、电影和书籍

Music:
I listen to a large variety of music though I prefer any kind of "hand-made-music" ranging from rock, ska, reggae and traditional music of the countries I visit.

Books:
- Any kind of travel reports (currently I am reading Journey Man)
-A song of ice and fire novels (I think the books are a lot better than the series)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

-Solo hiking for more than 400km in Germany (Moselsteig).
-Participating in a hitchhiking-race from Germany to Albania. I met so many incredible people and we were invited several times. The hospitality and the kindness of the people along our way is someting I will always remember and it gives me a smile.

教，学，和分享

Teach: I can help you practise German
Learn: I would like to improve my French. I also would like to learn how to play the guitar though I think I am probably not that talented. ;-)
