About Me

I'm 31 years old and currently studying for my Ph.D. in Physics in Hamburg. The topic is microscopy, so if you want to know how to see atoms move, just ask me :). WhiIe I had no kids I enjoyed like traveling with the backpack a lot, then we had a little break when the kids were too young, but last summer we did our first family Couchsurfing trip and it worked great. We usually couch-surf and host through my wife's account (Birge-Dorothea), so all of our references are on her profile down in my friend list.
A long time ago I was a software developer in Manchester, but not much is left from the knowledge of those days :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When we're home in Hamburg we can offer you a comfortable 2-man couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was a 5-week trip through the Balkans with my then-girlfriend-now-wife Tia. We were pretty much Couchsurfing the whole trip and it was a great experience. The highlight was Couchsurfing with Karel Karavan at the Black sea, sleeping in a tent directly at the beach.
