Welcome to my Profile!
I am Martin, 26 years old from Berlin. I'm studying sociology and im working in the tourism sector of Berlin. I'm really interested in the story of berlin and at work i like to tell them a lot of new people i meet there. If you like to come to Berlin, i will give you a typical Berlin "Späti-Tour" (which means a mixture of Kiosk and city tour). I'm interested in politics and i'm enjoying the summer just hanging out with some friends in the green parts of berlin.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I both hosted and visited couchsurfing members and i had always very good experiences. I really like to share experiences about living in different countries and it's also about to understand problems of everyone. it's also about to understand and exchange our experiences and cultures. Couchsurfing gives you so much more than just sightseeing-tours.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've never did something like Bungeejumping etc.
What was the most important part of my life in the last years was spending a half year in puglia (south Italy). Getting into a language/culture, meeting so many people there and feel their personality was actually the most "amazing" thing i've done :).
