About Me

After I finished University I worked and saved a few lemons to travel the world. I never left Europe before, but I had a feeling that there is something waiting for me. Therefore I left everything behind and started my journey.

As a German engineer I inhere the stigma of the most prejudices about Germans. For example I am reliable, clean, organized and asymmetries drive me crazy. It takes me a bit to get warm with people, but then you will love me. I am relaxed, laid back and easy going, but as well active and up to every joke. I like that I can adapt in almost every situation.
A special thing about me is that I can get thrilled by almost everything that attracts my attention and I prefer to go to bed very late.

I have a travel philosophy: "Always accept every offer You get". This led me into some awesome situations. From making new friends at dinner to gamble with the Filipino mafia in a backroom. So what is your offer?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it is the best way to make new real friends while traveling and get into a foreign culture.
I don't want to travel through a country without getting to know the people there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting everything stolen while traveling - this is one of the greatest experience I ever made. For me this is the only way to get to know what you really need and want.

Teach, Learn, Share

How to get thrilled about details...

What I Can Share with Hosts

From a nice evening to a lifelong friendship. I expect nothing and hope for everything.

And of course fun with me. I am very open minded. I'll do what ever you think we have to do for the best couch-surfing experience...
