About Me

ABOUT ME I am a fun-loving, open-minded, friendly, all-around happy person. I am the type of person that is always up for doing something new and different. I just like to have fun and enjoy live with amazing people.

MY STORY I am from Germany, grew up near Kassel and studied in Cologne electrical engineering. I moved for the first job to Frankfurt, were I lived for 9 years before I decided to quit my last job as project manager end of 2018 for travelling around the world. After 557 days, 22 visited countries, 20,000 travelled kilometres and 2 weeks curfew in Peru, I came back to Germany April 2020. I decided to move to Hamburg and since May 2020 I have lived in this beautiful city directly in bubbly St. Pauli.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the CS spirit and to stay with locals is - I think- the best way you get most out of your travels. I love the spirit of CS and the exchange with people, it really enriches the horizon and you gain a better understanding of way of living in other countries.

Interests

Meet new people, live life, learn everything there is to learn about the world and enjoy each day. I am very curious and like to try out and get to know new things.
