I'm a quite candid person and always open to people that have a generally positive attitude towards life and don't take things and thereself too serious.

I really like to laught, no matter whether about political satire, bad puns, slapstick or about myself. Laughing is good in any way and connects people better than anyting else.

My favorite counties I have visited so far: USA, Singapore, the Netherlands, Belgium.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Demand side:

Since I am traveling a lot (due to my job and due to personal curiosity), I thought it would be nice to get some impressions by locals, which might enrich my travels.

Supply side:

To get Berlin visitors out of these tourist bubbles and show them the more original Berlin. Since I was born and raised here, and lived here nearly all my life, I know my city very well.

And since I am a doctor in Geography, who has studied the urban and neighborhood development of the city for years, you get even a professional view on the city and some of its neighborhoods.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you an authentic view of the city and get you out of these tourist bubbles and show you the more original Berlin. Since I was born and raised here, and lived here nearly all my life, I know my city very well.

And you could get a professional perspective on the city and it's neighborhoods as well. Since I am a doctor in Geography I have studied the urban and neighborhood development of the city for years. I can show you places that would never even get close to the word "touristy".

And since I have travelled so much, I developed a quite comprehensive view on the topic of traveling which I can share.
