My name is Mats, I'm from the north of Germany and would describe me as an interested, calm and friendly guy. I'm a bit shy in the beginning but open for a lot of activites and curious to learn new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to try different ways of travelling and I'm sure that couchsurfing has to offer a lot of benefits for both sides of meeting. I think it's a good way for a traveler to find real places and to experience everyday-life in that particular place. It's a opportunity to meet nice, interesting people and have a good time. And I like the idea to help each other without the need of money. Why shouldn't people help eachother out as a host or guide or whatever if they got the place and time to do so?

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm annoyed by the (chart)music which is repeated everyday in the radio. In general I prefer music with real instruments like Rock, Indie, Stoner, etc; but electronical music can be nice too.
