Vaccinated

Hi, I'm Philipp. I'm studying political science in Berlin since three years ago but still far away from finishing. My passions are talking to people openly. That's why I love learning new languages. Right now, I'm working on my Spanish, but I also know French and a bit of Arabic.

I did an exchange to France when I was in 9th grade and since then I always wanted to get to know different cultures, languages and people. I love being thrown into cold water and getting the full experience of living in a completely different country. I am not at all complicated to deal with, but I'm always open to making new friends and to get to know you and maybe do whatever you like to do in your specific city or country. After high school I travelled a lot and had an amazing experience with couchsurfing.

My hobbies are playing the piano and running. I love music, no particurlar genre but pretty much everything that sounds good to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Maybe it is naive or idealistic or both but I love the idea of a friendly world where you can crash anywhere you need to and get to meet nice people. Most of all it would be great to experience somewhere from a local perspective. Tourist spots are nice and everything but having seen them doesn't mean that you can say anything about the people living there, their way of thinking and everything...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When my friends and I went to Amsterdam after graduation, we didn't have the money to stay in a room or a hostel so instead we went camping and found out that the money for any hotel would have been completely wasted. We ended up making good friends and spending our nights chatting with lovely people from all over Europe who shared their food with us. It made me realize that every experience is so much better when you can share it with somebody else.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you're interested in German or international development politics, I can definitely tell you a lot but I guess it's rather boring. We're both good at cooking and check though.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will gladly help you with anything you need. Whether it's teaching you some German or french or fixing anything at your place or whatever. I can also cook.
