Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined couchsurfing a long time ago, but I have actually never used it (yet). I am planning a trip in Berlin, and I'd like to connect with chill people who can recommend me cool activities. I prefer quirky experiences to the more "touristy stuff".

Interests

I would love to practice my photography skills in unique places.
I'm pretty active at the moment (fitness, running, biking), getting back into shape :)
I also like to chill in gardens when the weather is nice.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a fan of David Fincher and Hayao Miyazaki/Ghibli movies.
I love classic rock, metal, electronic music, or whatever grooves and makes you dance.
I play guitar, and can teach you some basics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I finished Dark Souls.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach and practice with you some basic English, French or Russian.
I'm interested in practicing Spanish and picking up some Japanese, as I'll be doing a trip to Japan at some point.
I love trying out new hobbies, whether it's music (instruments), arts and crafts or new skills.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My favorite belgian beers (if I can find them in Berlin).
If you're into music, let's jam.
