3/3 vaccinations + recovered

Hello there!

My name is Matze and I now finally began studying to become an international teacher (ITESS) in Groningen, the Netherlands.
After high school, I spent 3 years working, mostly in education and youthwork, around the globe. Most recently I worked at a summer camp for underprivileged youth in Minnesota, USA. You can see where I've been and what I have done below because I've always used Couchsurfing and kept updating what I was currently doing.
I love this platform for its amazing community and all the great experiences I got to have because of connecting with so many wonderful people through here.
I love cooking, and being outdoors but in general, am always up to trying all kinds of new things. If I had to I would often describe myself as more of an opportunist, trying to make the best of what I'm given, contributing, and having the most positive impact I can whilst enjoying life. I hope I will meet you soon! :)

{March 2022} Currently back in Germany, in the states from the 4th of June onwards. Love openminded chats, and getting to know new people, views, and things. Looking forward to meeting you!

{February 2022} Volunteering at a pig sanctuary at the moment. Want to meet people, travel to see more parts of beautiful Ireland, and connect in my time off :)

{November 2021}I volunteer at a preschool with special needs kids in Cashel, Ireland. My project work will be over by February next year after which I would like to do something else in Ireland.
Until then I would just love to get to know some people from here, make some friends and simply have a good time as well as explore the country a little bit. I hope we meet soon!:)

{September 2020}Currently in Leipzig, Germany where I'm doing a voluntary service year. For that, I'm part of an aid organization (Malteser), teach first aid, conduct trainings, and take care of most of our youth work as well! :)

{August 2019}Hi! My name is Matthew, I'm 18 years old and finished my school education in Germany just a couple of months ago. Now I live in India, doing a voluntary service as an English teacher at an upper primary school.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To connect with locals and get a closer insight into what their lives, culture etc. are really like as well as sharing all kinds of things and learning with and from one another. Have a good time

兴趣

I love playing Hockey, but also any other sport. Snowboarding and longboarding are two other hobbies I like very much. Cooking has always been something I enjoyed a lot as well as eating!:D I really do love food but also getting to know different cultures and learning languages. I've studied english, french and spanish in school. I especially love the english language which is one of the reasons why I want to be an international english teacher in the future.
