Hello everyone out there :) !

I am a open-hearted and cheery Master student from Germany. I am in Beijing for an internship with a major airline and hope to explore the Chinese capital as well as doing amazing trips to close and far destinantions :)

My journey starts in Jakarta in October 2016. My first real destination will be Jember, Indonesia, where I will be teaching English, Maths and Science in a small school.
Next stations could be Bali, Lombok, Komodo, Flores and Timor, maybe Sulawesi or something entirely differnent :)

I am not returning to good & (c)old Germany before I am entirely broke :D!

Cheers,
Patrick

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just signed up here and want to gain my very first couchsurf experience :)

I would love to get in touch with real locals and break free from the "backpacker bubble" in the hostels :)
So I want to try couch surfing and hope to meet great persons and maybe some new friends in Indonesia!

I also want to share my experience which I have made so far and trying to teach you a little German and hope to expand your point of view ;)
