I'm a curious person and like getting to know new people, discovering countries and cultures. I'm also fond of nature and everything you can do outside.

"Always look on the bright side of life."
Although I'm never super-optimistic about the future I always try to make the most of this moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the concept of hospitality in general and especially that the internet makes it possible to experience it with the help of websites like couchsurfing. I have stayed with very interesting people in cool places and I want to give back some of the kindness they offered.

Interests

In my free time, I like to practise languages I know, join the university sports programmes, train rowing and go hiking.
I also enjoy discussing politics and of course I am super interested in science (as I study physics).

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like many different styles of music. My favourite bands include the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Oasis, Green Day, and Rise Against.

Books: Up until about two years ago I used to love fantasy novels like Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (all of them also in their film versions). Now I read more traditional novels. I really liked The Call of the Wild and The Catcher in the Rhye.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waking up in a tent on the veranda of a wooden hut on the first night of a boat trip up Rio Ucayali in the Peruvian rainforest with everything around me shaking, and, after some seconds, realising that it was a medium earthquake.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you a little about playing the guitar and I'm always happy to practise languages and exchange knowledge. If you have a child in school, I'm a great private teacher in a lot of subjects ;)
