Iam Niklas, 25 years old, sportsman and widely interested in things. Things? Yeah, things. Not spezific, no matter if politic, sports, or religion. I like to hear new statement and opinions from people all over the world.
What I recognize right here: Iam not creative in writing words about me.. I just finished my thesis with 20.000 words and iam struggling right here with 400 words. Crazy. Whatever, I would describe myself as mind open, adaptable to new situations/people and curious.
Iam born in Bochum, a mid-sized town in the west part of Germany. After I finished school, I started and finished studying industrial engeneering in Münster. Seriously don´t ask what I do later on with it, I prefer to answer all and nothing . In winter term of 2015 I continue to study and want to fill the gap of time with things I enjoy, basically travelling and sports.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When iam thinking backwards in time, i can hardly remind myself in something apart from studying and working. So i want to change this and use the possibilities of couchsurfing to get to know different people and places. First of all I want to collect experiences and have fun with other people. A deeper sense of collecting experiences is to learn more about myself. Someone said, there are mirrors, where you can recognize what is missing. Iam just simply searching for new mirrors.

Interests

My interests are changing rapidly. I started two years ago to photograph people, landscapes and buildings. On the one side I enjoy taking photos and on the other hand I like to see the reaction of people, when showing my photos to them. And you can be absolutely sure, I have my camera in my bag, when we meet. But it´s nothing to be afraid of.
As I mentioned I do a lot of sport. Basically Iam playing handball in a team. But as long a ball is involved I like to do every (team)-sport you can imagine. If there are any possibilities to do sports, just tell and I join, definitely. ;)
If iam honest to myself, party time got limited because of studying. But nothing to worry about, if there is a nice beat in town, I would be the last one, who denied dancing. Basically to electronic, dub or rock- music, but take me where ever you want.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Never heard of. Last one were biographies of Steve Jobs, Nelson Mandela and Leonardo Da Vinci. Iam basically interested in their archievements and personalities, so I tortured myself reading books.

Movies: Good Will Hunting, 21 and Into the wild.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some stuff I don´t want to write in the internet. I tell you, if we meet. Seriously.;)

Teach, Learn, Share

Iam technical interested. So there are things i can repair, for example computers. I gave courses in Photoshop/Lightroom and can teach some elementary photography stuff. Feel free to teach me languages, drinking techniques or some culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Vivid and maybe deep discussions. Word and travel experiences and funny moments. Iam just a nice guy, who is thankful for escaping out of everyday life to have fun! And it´s always good to end the paper with a quote, if someone else has already said it best: Happiness is only real when shared. Two quotes in one sentence, awesome:D. Over and out!
