Well, writing about yourself is always kinda terrible.. Here goes: My name is Leo and I originally come from Austria, but I've been living in Germany for 10 years now. I study physics and I'm rather interested in the world in what's going on in it, this I spend quite a bit of time informing myself about this and that. Why is society the way it is? A question that haunts me a bit, which is why I also got into sociology quite a bit. It's quite fascinating.
A friend of mine and I run the Debateclub here in Bayreuth, because debating is pretty much fucking awesome - although quite a few might disagree with me here.

Now that the formal stuff is over:
I'm just a guy that likes talking to people, getting to know them, and finding out about the world and its people!
I'll drink a beer with you, I'll cook for you and I'll talk with you and I'll gladly show you around town.
See you around

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Why wouldn't I be. You just read about me, right?
I think it's great that we have things like this. Meeting other people is what makes life interesting! Sleeping for free and getting to know the world are just nice side-effects.

Centres d'intérêt

I play guitar when I find the time.
I do enjoy reading in general, more specifically: Books, articles, news, etc.
I cook. I cook a lot, pretty much daily, and I mostly get positive feedback. So I find it safe to say, that I can cook quite well by now.
Debating is my greatest hobby I guess. I always think it's funny, how terrible it sounds when you actually say it out loud....
Why do I find debating great? It forms your critical thinking, sharpens your rethorical skills, let's you really learn what it takes to form a team and it generally fits in with my other interests. It also makes you more selfreflective, as it constantly challenges your opinion on things.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I listen to tons of different music. Noteworthy: Gorillaz, Paul Halley, Vivaldi, K.I.Z, Apocalyptica, Incubus and the list goes on and on. Oh: Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Books: Thinking fast and slow, by Daniel Kahneman. I believe everyone needs to read this. I learned more about the way I think in this book, than I have in the 10 years before.
Seriously. Read it. Even if you don't like anything about me. Just do it.
Fav Movie: Shawshank Redemption, because of it's unparalleled direction.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I do organize a debateclub. That's a lot of work and I am sometimes surprised by how amazing things come out of group efforts. That is probably thanks to my genius partner, but I'll still take some credit for that.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I can talk a lot. About almost everything. And if I can't talk about it yet I'd love learning about it from you!
My life hasn't been very long yet, but I've experienced quite and am willing to share anything I know.
