About Me

I used to travel and tour a LOT in my 20s.
I will travel and tour SOME more in my 30s.
I run a lot of miles every week and I think it's great fun.
I think animals deserve moral consideration.

Also, I'm a huge Buddy Holly enthusiast.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I can show you around in Freiburg and Hamburg, recommend places to see some good shows and tell you countless stories about weird and good concert or touring experiences.

I have surfed several times in Netherlands (Utrecht, Amsterdam) as well as Belgium (Brugge), France (Antibes), Czech Republic (Prague) or at various places in the United States or Canada (Nashville, TN, Buffalo, NY, Richmond, VA, Toronto, ON, Montreal, QC.)

Over the past few years I've also hosted a countless number of people at my old apartment in Freiburg.

Interests

Music. Running. Vegan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing so many different cities in a few weeks while travelling all over the country/continent is one the most amazing things I have experienced so far.

Running my first Marathon in the heat of Hamburg summer right before my 30th birthday with my friend and somehow being able to pull through.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really enjoy speaking other languagues or giving some of my knowledge (or at last that what pretends to be knowledge) to other people, regardless if it's some sorta language-exchange, going to a local show or hanging around at people's favorite places.
It's always a pleasure for me to show someone around in the city I live in or introducing them to friends and have a nice time.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States
