Open-minded guy who loves having new experiences and meeting locals and travellers from all over the world. I enjoy getting to know people over a coffee, beer or shisha and to learn about their countries and personal stories. Very interested in politics and history. Big fan of sightseeing, cafés, pubs and the like when visiting new places - not very much into clubbing though.

I am still new to couchsurfing, but looking forward to some memorable experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hoping to get to know some interesting local people from those places I yet have to see. Also very much willing to host somebody in Cologne, if I am in town (sometimes absent due to my job)

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC:

Psychadelic Rock - Folk - Folk Rock - Folk Punk - Classic Rock - Blues - Ska - Reggae. Basically everything that comes with acoustic guitars and a good spirit. Honorable mention goes to the Doors and the Beards.

BOOKS:

Almost everything which is history-related. Biographies of people who moved this world. Also very much interested in weird stories (e.g. Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates, Monkey Wrench Gang). Big fan of Neil Stephenson.
