About Me

After studying for a (way too) looong time I finally started my first full-time job in October 2023.
Hope it won't cut my travel activities too much. On the other side gave me financially opportunity to finally afford a flat, where I could really host some guests in comfort (not like in my 1-room student apartment before).
Last CS experience is quite some time ago but I'm looking forward to making some fresh and new experiences with this community! Always like to think back to these occasions.

All my experiences while travelling changed me a lot. Was kind of a shy guy in school, but became very open minded and communicative over the years. Couchsurfing was another step in this development. I´m curious about meeting new people and getting to know a country from it´s most authentic side.
In my free time I like to hang out with friends, going out for some coffee or beers and parties. Also always open to cultural activities and alternative stuff. Not only museums but also like dance performances, singing karaoke (but definitely some beers before) or go for hikes. I like to do sports in the gym or playing badminton, tennis, basketball or whatever I feel like doing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Made some couchsurfing experiences on a road trip with my former flat mate Felix (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/felix-lindau). These were by far the best stays!
It is the best opportunity to get easy into conatct with locals, may get to know "secret special places" in the city you visit and learn about the culture of the country.

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking and learning new and local dishes and even more good conversation and a bottle of wine while eating them.
Learning the language in such a short time seems to be impossible, but maybe we can teach each other a few words.
I made the experience, that when guest visit you and you show them around your city, you always discover some characteristics about it.
