Hey CS Community! ☀️
I‘m Mirco and coming from the North of Germany. 🇩🇪
Right now I‘m traveling solo since August 2023 through Asia. It’s also my first time here. :)

Normally I‘m a teacher 👨🏼‍🏫 in the special needs educational sector, have taught over the last years kids with and without mental and learning disabilities, also others with emotional and social irregularities as well as treat speech, language and communicational disorders.

In Germany I used to live a minimalist lifestyle 🏠 and try to appreciate all the things I have with a purpose. My nutrition behavior is plant based 🌱while on my travels I tend to live vegetarian. I know that for some it sounds like a limitation, yet it’s the way I feel the most freely and comfortably. Though for me it’s import that everyone feels good the way they live and appreciate that. I‘m not the one to judge. 🙂

I love to discover new places, get to know people and have been always interested in different cultures and lifestyles.

Usually I‘m traveling alone to have more freedom in choosing what I‘m up to, however lately I also enjoyed traveling with friends or making new friends and explore places together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing offers a great possibility to get to know new people, making friends and learning more things about the specific country, culture and history.

Everyone I have met so far has been wonderful yet different from each other. I made friends and even got back to some.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music 🎶
it varies a lot, but mostly all sorts of Indie / Pop / Rock / Folk.
I‘m also a huge fan and follower of the Eurovision Song Contest, visited the PreParty in Amsterdam in the past and have been to the Grand Final at the contest in Liverpool 2023. It’s one of my biggest passions as you get an insight into traditional music from certain European countries as well as other information.

Movies 🎥
There’s no genre I prefer and it’s depending on my mood, but some of my favorites are:
- Cloud Atlas
- Hunger Games
- Ghibli Movies in general + Your Name

Series‘ 📺
- a lot of Anime (One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, my Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, Naruto,…)
- Desperate Housewives
- Modern Family
- Glee
- Brooklyn 99
- SuperStore
- Adventure Time

Books and Literature 📚
Depending on my mood I enjoy reading studies or philosophical books, but also fiction and novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Even if I do travel (alone) since 2018, this trip right now is the longest I have ever made and it is as a whole experience also the best.

On my journey I found a lot of likeminded, interesting and exciting people, learned so much about the world and myself. Everything which has come to me is way more than I would have ever asked for and changed my perspective and perception of life.

In this term I enjoy being a student myself again as each country teaches my a new lesson.
There’s a lot of thankfulness in my heart.

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is full of surprises.
I feel that there is so much out there to exchange, learn and teach. Experiences, images and talks are barely explainable through the complex feelings. My wish is to make a lasting impression, connection, memory and feeling to the people I meet.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Open-mindedness, a good mood and smile, hopefully a good talk or a lasting shared memory.
