About Me

I am an open minded person, always trying to learn something new and experience something special. I think you need diversity to develop and learn more about yourselfe.
I really love good humour and open minded, funny people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In 2014, after my highschool graduation, I started travelling the world by visiting friends in China. I realised it is some thing I want to do more often and in other countries aswell. It is a totally different experience to live there not as a tourist in hotels with other tourist.
Just by spending time with people from the country you are visiting you will experience live and culture.
Thats why I am on this website.

Additional I also love to meet new people so I would like to be a host when ever it is possible.

Interests

I have many interest so I hope we can find sth to talk about:

I play some instruments like guitar, drums and a little bit piano. I also like to sing.
I drive a motorbike.
I used to play several computer games but since I am a student I do not have much time for it left.
