Well I had the very individual common german "after-high-school-experience" traveling and working through New Zealand, which is 5 years ago meanwhile... 😂😂 That's when I first tried courchsurfing and had some nice experiences,
After that I got settled in Darmstadt for a couple years, doing an apprenticeship as an electrician.
Unfortunately I havent had to many big trips during that time period.
Meanwhile I am studying business and engineering.
So if your interested in the good places to be in Darmstadt, your welcome to send a request. I might show you around.
And if you're a cool person I'd be happy to get to know you💪🏻
Im living in a shared flat with to girls and another guy, so usually I have to doublecheck if you can stay, preferably on the weekends.
Don't expect to much, you gonna have to stay on a couch, which is in the corridor of our flat😂
cheers

current mission:
From september '18 to january 19' I will be living in Valéncia as an exchange student.
I dont have a flat at the moment, but I would really get in a shared flat with spanish speaking people to learn te language quickly.
Tengo que practicar mucho español mientras enseño cursos de español;)
So I would be happy to catch up with some locals, that would maybe host me for a couple days or even help me to find my own room.
Feel free to contact me if you know of any free rooms in yur circle of friends.
cheers

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Even the coolest city can be boring if you dont know what to do and where to be.
So the best way to avoid a boring trip is to hook up with some locals. Thats why I like the idea behind couchsurfing.
So how about you offer me a couch and I spend the money i save for a hotel on dinner and drinks for us;)
