Hello there lovely people!
I am Malte from Germany and currently live in Mannheim. Originally I am from Hamburg, but I moved here for my studies :)

I was quite surprised that people actually told me I am quite positive all the time. But it makes me happy. What makes you happy?

No, seriously, I am a really laid back guy and I like to talk about nearly everything. I used CS during my gap year and it helped me a lot to get in touch with people, so I hope I now can give back some of the awesome experiences I had :)

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

Helping out people who are traveling! Giving back something to the community :)

I hold the view that if someone is so nice to open their doors for you, you should give something back as well, even if it is just a nice conversation. It is the little things that make the life worth living :)

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I'm really into music.
I used to play in a band and like making music on different instruments.
Most of the bands I listen to are some kind of progressive or post genres but if I want to dance I tend to prefer electro music with a good beat.

I try to read more. Mostly novels or thrillers, often psychology-related books.
Just finished the Millenium trilogy and I really like books by Ken Follett.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Moved to the UK
Highlands tour in Scotland
Kayak and Camp trip in Poland with my friends
minor hiking trip with my brother on a Gold DofE route - we never hiked before.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

As a native German speaker, I'm happy to teach some German or talk about Germany!
But most importantly, I can teach you how to open a beer bottle with literately everything ;)
I used to play around with cards, so after a short performance, I might show you some easy tricks :)

Also, I am a bit into self-improvement and happy to share my views or get inspirited by your life style.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

Experience, Stories, just a relaxed time.
A good beer! Or tea! Or coffee! (Preferably the first one..)

I consider myself as a quite flexible person, so I am happy to join you for your weird Saturday afternoon hobby!
