I'm a 32 year old software developer currently traveling the world. I stumbled upon couchsurfing just during my trip. Darya, who I met on my travel through Namibia, told me about it. That's why, I haven't hosted anyone, yet.

In case, somebody is interested to see some picture of the trip: https://goo.gl/photos/TyP9kCh1TwjF93qdA

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm trying to get in touch with local people. Always staying in hostels doesn't help to achieve this. 8)

Music, Movies, and Books

- The Physician by Noah Gordon
I like the way it is written and how the journey and the different locations are described during the main characters trip through Europe and the Middle East.

- The Millenium novel series by Stieg Larsson
... is actually a series of books which was recomended to me by a friend. I wasn't into crime stories before. But I couldn't stop reading them although I wouldn't call myself a bookworm.

- Africa: Altered States, Ordinary Miracles by Richard Dowden
...is the book I am reading right now. It gives great insights about some of the countries I recently visited and makes it easier to understand some of the moments I experienced.

TV Series I like: The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, House of Cards, How I met your mother, Big Bang Theory

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am happy to share my stories and experiences I gathered on my trip so far. I am also happy to hear interesting stories from others. And of course, I wouldn't say no to sharing a beer or two. ;-)
