About Me

I am a fun and easy going companion and love sassy and savage jokes. After uni I worked at a major airline in Germany and founded my own business afterwards. Now I consult businesses and help them setting up their IT-Infrastructure and train their sales-staff. Rather than making a list of all the places I want to visit, it'd be a lot more time efficient to provide the list of countries that don't interest me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After traveling for 10 month trough North and Central America couchsurfing became a part of my life I don't want to miss.

I found very good friends through couchsurfing and have seen beautiful countries from a whole new perspective. Staying with all these hosts from different countries and experienceing all the hospitality changed my view on other cultures.

Interests

I do Kickboxing and if you like running I'm happy to join you for a run. Furthermore, I sing in a choire for men that cannot sing properly. Sounds funny and believe me: it is fun to watch.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love deep house and slow oriental house. However, you will get me with all cheesy acoustic guitar songs too :D

Californication, Breaking Bad, Suits, Dexter, Hannibal, Money Heist, The Sinner, The Affair
Apart from that I enjoy American sitcoms like New Girl, Modern Family and Community

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taking part at a service at Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco. I am not religious but seeing this very inclusive community of different faiths and backgrounds come together and celebrate their love and support for each other was amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm more than happy to teach you some basic German or help you to improve your skills. I really got into cooking recently so I am very happy if you teach me some local dishes.
