CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the world, making new friends from all over the world and grabbing the chances life offers.
In summer 2019, I successfully finished my BSc Business Administration at the University of Mannheim. Now, I am in the process of relocating to London and to continue my professional career.

ABOUT ME

I am a citizen of the world and feel home everywhere on our incredibly beautiful planet. I love hanging out with my family and friends, to challenge myself, to travel, to make new friends, to read, to do all kinds of sports and to immerse into politics, economics, and the financial markets. I love to explore our earth and nature, to meet fellow humans, to create unique, fantastic and unforgettable memories as well as learning about many different subjects.
I love to give, take and share unbelievable stories, terrific fun, an amazing time, valuable wisdom, fantastic experience, unforgettable moments or simply a helping hand.

I grew up with dozens of siblings as my parents are foster parents. This has taught me a lot about life, love, appreciation, gratitude, humbleness, and empathy.

by the way: nearly all my photos are without other people to protect their privacy and not because I am anti-social

PHILOSOPHY

"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."

Well, I'm an open-minded optimist!
Looking forward to meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm curious and open-minded and interested in foreign cultures. I respect your home, family, friends, pets, interests, hobbies, and your way of life. Not only I wanna get to know you, but I'd also like to become friends and be introduced in your lifestyle, your city and the fascinating story you have to tell.

As of September 2019, over the past 12 months, I have lived in Beijing and Hong Kong as well as in Mannheim and Pforzheim in Germany, and now am in the process of relocating to London permanently. Once I am settled, I hope to be able to provide room to my fellow couchsurfers.

I read a lot of educating/financial newspapers, magazines and non-fiction books.
Comedy movies, e.g. the French movie ‘Intouchables ‘, are my favorites to watch. A day without a hearty laugh is a wasted day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Throughout my life, I have been very lucky to meet outstanding fellow humans, to experience unique and magnificent times or magical moments and to witness the incredible beauty of our planet.

One of the most recent amazing things I have done was to hike to the top of the fourth highest yet most beautiful mountain in the Black Forest at 3:30 am in the morning! It was pitch black outside and my girlfriend and I were only equipped with two small flashlights. Occasional cracks and rustling noises in the woods were super scary. After all, who knows what wild animal you suddenly face? However, once we reached the mountain top, we were rewarded with one of the most beautiful sunrises we have ever seen.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to get inspired by the people and places I get to know and in return inspire the people around me. I am always up to learn something new and to share positive vibes and attitude. I encourage people to think critically, ask questions, to be open-minded and to follow their dreams.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am sharing 32 years of life experience, thrilling stories, a great and fun time, positive spirit and motivation.

I love to give, take and share unbelievable stories, terrific fun, an amazing time, valuable wisdom, fantastic experience, unforgettable moments or simply a helping hand.
