Hey! I'm a 19y/o from some small, unimportant town in central Germany which most interesting sight is a windmill museum soon shutting down because of too few visitors. This may or may not explain why I'm into traveling so much.

I graduated from high school in 2016 and will be going to university from Sep 2017 which leaves me with a couple of free months. I'm in B.C. right now and I don't have a car or a driving license. What I do have, though, is a nice backpack and an open mind.

I love exploring cities and smaller towns as well as beautiful hiking and biking trails. I also like taking photos but clever as I am left my camera at home so my phone will have to do the job.

You can find me (and my semi-great...ish photos) on

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like traveling, especially right now with so much time on my hands between school and university, and love to meet and socialize with locals instead of working through a travel book and staying in a hotel room half of the day.

Also, I like couches.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach piano to everyone who has one at home but doesn't use it. I can do the same to a lesser degree for most instruments, for that matter. Seriously, people, use your instruments.
Other than that, I can offer some above-average burgers, or so people tell me.

I'll be glad to learn more about anything I don't know, anything I think I already know and anything I used to know but forgot (which is more than I'd like it to be). Or simply show me a bunch of your favorite pictures, I know everyone loves to do that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share some interesting stuff about modern Germany, as well as some boring stuff about its history. I love talking about music and movies and I'd like to believe I know one thing or two about both that you may not.
