I think friends would describe me as an easy going and relaxed guy. I study engineering science at the TU Berlin. I really like having people around so, which is why I life in a flat share for six years now. I generally get along with people very well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first got into couchsurfing in 2009 when I did a trip through the Netherlands and Belgium. Also over the years we had like 20 couchsurfers in our flat from all over the world.

I really love the concept of couchsurfing and nowadays it became so popular that I don't really think of a different way of travelling, unless I can't find a couch. So far I only had good experience, where the worst was maybe a little boring person :)

The last 2 years or so I was pretty busy with everything, so I kind off stoped participating, but now I'm eager to gat back to it and start hosting people again!

Interests

As I said before, I love hanging out with friends, my flatmates or neighbours (there are three flatshares in my house), going to the park in the summer or clubbing at night or go to a decent bar. I like reading books, so far mostly crime novels and books about psychology, but I'm starting now with the big literature. I also play the piano and I even have one here in Berlin which is terribly out of tune, but you can play it and you're always invited to do so when you stay here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Interrail through eastern europe with my girlfriend at the time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like learning new things, and teaching. I don't get this point. I really like discussions about anything, from life to death and love to science :D

And I like to cook and I think I'm actually not too bad at it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Time, experience, views. What can I say, I don't expect anything from hosts, except being respectful, but I like to get to know the poeple I'm staying with. And normally I cook at least once for my host :)
