I am open minded, funny and thoughful guy who loves to travel.

Cultural exchange makes the world a more peaceful place!

I am flexible and pragmatic when in comes to accommodation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new, interesting people. I love to learn about different cultures and ways of living. Is there a better way than getting in directly in touch with hosts who could give a unique insight into their realities?

I am looking forward to meet you :-)

Interests

We are living in overwhelming times. There has never been such great mobility for many people, massive economic growth and cultural exchange.

However, this development is run by a corporate globalization, that commodifies almost everything in order to exploit nature and humans. I want to contribute my part to help building a future that doesn't end with the last drop of oil extracted. So I did in England where I protested against TTIP and as a volunteer in the MARIPHIL Children's Village in the Philippines.

I am currently working on my Masterthesis regarding Solar Energy in India.

I also like beer...and rum (not together though) :-)
