Alright, here’s a bit about me—raised in a small German town surrounded by my four siblings, brought up on a steady diet of books, video games, movies, and loads of sports club action like dancing and baseball.

After high school, I was itching for adventure, so I hit the road in 2016. Travel was my jam until COVID hit, sending me back home to Germany. Weirdly enough, that chaotic time turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Being stuck at home gave me the chance to slow down and figure things out. And guess what? I stumbled upon my passion for game design.

What I love about game design? It’s the perfect blend of creativity and technology, a way to weave stories and experiences that people can immerse themselves in. And now, I’m back on the road, traveling again and finding inspiration in every corner.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m all about Couchsurfing because it’s the best way to dive into a new country and really get to know the locals. I mean, sure, you can hit up the national museum, but nothing beats sitting down for a chat with someone who calls that place home, right?
It’s like hitchhiking in a way, but Couchsurfing ramps it up a notch. You’re not just catching a ride; you’re cooking together, chatting for hours, and really bonding.
To me, that’s what traveling is all about—soaking up the vibe and culture through real connections.

Interests

I'm a pretty curious person, always eager to learn and explore. Consider me a bit of a handyman—I enjoy building and fixing things.

The outdoors is where I thrive; hiking and exploring on foot are right up my alley. I've had some unforgettable hikes in New Zealand and Japan.I'm all about physical activities like yoga, biking, surfing, and swimming—anything that gets me moving and enjoying nature.

I'm a bit of a nerd too! Fantasy and science fiction movies and books? Total fan! But don't worry, I mix it up with other genres. Although, I'd never turn down a Lord of the Rings extended edition marathon.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Fantasy and science-fiction books, movies and series.
But I watch pretty much everything with a good story and well acted.
I'm uncomplicated with music everything between rock a bit of electronic music and old tunes is perfect with me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, imagine this. Spending a night by a campfire on the Great Wall of China, surrounded by centuries of history under a star-studded sky. It was an experience that redefined my idea of adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share

Gaming definitely a passion of mine it doesn't matter if it is console / board or card games
I know plenty of games which I could teach but I'm always down to learn new once...
I'm always keen to learn more about Yoga and improve my own skills.
If your graving for some good old German schupfnudeln or Bratkartoffeln I'm your chef but that pretty much about it ...
So I'm keen to learn more about different meals and I can share the recipes I know
But the biggest thing I can teach or share are my experiences I gathered while traveling different countries. And meeting a lot of different people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My great german Humor ...
And I'm a handy man and so where ever there is something to do I'm keen to help even if it's just dishes or cleaning.
And apart from that I'm open for everything card games, cooking, listening to music, ...
But the main thing is my company and a lot of questions
