Unfortunately I can't host any guests right now, due the lack of time because of finishing my thesis.

I am a German who is living here in beautiful Leipzig. I'm always looking to get to know new people from all over the world. Don't hesitate to contact me. I would describe my self as an open minded person and typical German: polite, organised, always in time (haha) and curious about everything which is exotic :).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think if you want to get to know the country for real, then you have to meet locals :P !

Interests

There are several interests, but the main is probably my addiction to photography. But I am not the typical sightseeing photographer. At the moment I am concentrating on black n white street photography. :) You can see first impressions on my instagram profile: normaniac4u

Music, Movies, and Books

Well, there is not so much time to read books besides of my studies and work. At the moment I am reading Harry Potter (haha) and the magic mountain by Thomas Mann. A book which is not written because of the story - but rather because of the writing style. Marvellous. Some other books which I can recommend:
Charles Duhigg - The power of the habit
Daron Acemoğlu und James A. Robinson - Why nations fail
Byung-Chul Han - Society of tiredness
George Orwell - 1984
Samuel Phillips Huntington - The clash of civilizations
Burrhus Frederic Skinner - Walden II

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh I've done so many adventures... there is not enough place here. But you can ask me how I survived the Norwegian mountains just with a t-shirt, how I tried to flee from Romanian bears and wild cats or, how it appeared to see the first time in my life a frozen sea, how I fled at 3am from a harvester in Southern France or how I woke up in a lumber-room in Brussels, haha.

Teach, Learn, Share

Besides of my languages and skills in European affairs (such as economic, refugee, security, populist, democracy issues) I can share my knowledge about photography. I even gave some photowalks already in Poland =).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I lived for several years in Poland, Belgium and Portugal. So I can share a small amount of Portwine, Wodka or Chocolate :D.
