About Me

Love traveling and I love sports. Lived in Barcelona for 4 years, studied, worked and fell in love with the culture there (it's very different from the German culture, probably that's why I like it so much).
When traveling I like to see places by foot, bicycle, longboard, basically anything except public transport. I'm an avid photographer and you just see a lot more when walking everywhere instead of being stuck in a train or bus.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We had a Couchsurfer in Barcelona for a couple of days and I showed him around the city...that's how I found out about Couchsurfing. It was a great experience because I could show him around and he got to see the city off the beaten path of tourist busses & commercial guides.

Interests

running, yoga, snowboarding, longboarding, music, movies, photography, also admit to being an Apple fanboy

Music, Movies, and Books

anything, really...from Alicia Keys to Led Zeppelin...don't like techno music nor metal/hard rock too much, though

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

ran a marathon

Teach, Learn, Share

a year and a half ago I discovered a very physical style of yoga, which I always thought of as easy and just about stretching. I was surprised how intensive it was, even though I'm in top shape. Ever since then I keep learning more and more and practice several times a week. I even thought about becoming a yoga teacher, because they get to travel a lot and see the world, meet people and are generally very content...a pending project still!
Work wise, I'm an IT/techie guy and work for Apple. Can fix or explain about anything that has an LCD display 8-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

very easy going and not at all "high maintenance"...I'm not a great cook, though. Also, if you have an iPhone, iPad or Mac, I can fix it;)
