Hey!

I'm normal man living a Berlin. I love wine and music with some philosophy in between. I like dark bars and talking to strangers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think travelling like a tourist sucks and should be avoided at all costs. CS helps one to meet the local people of a city and explore the culture. Besides, it's a great opportunity to make friends while travelling!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking in Iran's central desert in the darkness and getting stoned by its wonderful starry night.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a not-so-bad chess player and I can play with you, or teach you a few things about chess.
I also used to play the drums, I know a few grooves to play.

What I Can Share with Hosts
