CURRENT MISSION

Make the world a better place.

ABOUT ME

I'm a funny guy who is very open-minded and wants to get to know a lot about foreign cultures and other people. I like to meet new people, talk to them and to make new international friendships. At the moment I am studying Political Science at the University Hamburg with the aim to get a better understanding about how politics and society works. I am now writing on my Bachelor-Thesis about gender theory. I am furthermore a big fan of Brazil and Latin-America.

PHILOSOPHY

Peace, Love and Harmony. I think everyone of us has to give his best to make the world a better place. So I'm trying hard to help in this mission. I try to develop empathy for every human being. No matter his culture, religion, skin color or opinion in certain political problems.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love Couchsurfing because for me the project is a great oportunity to bring the world together and to get rid of stereotypes. I have surfed some couches and was at different meetings. Now I am looking forward to host other couchsurfers to show them the beautiful city of Hamburg.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only few experiences but every experience I have had with the project were very very good. During my stay in Hamburg I have had my first experiences. I stayed a week in Hamburg with different Couchsurfers. It was very impressive for me to see how my hosts treated me : as a friend and as a guest. Now I am really enthusiastic about the idea to host other people to give something back.

Interests

I like music, especially brazilian music, rock, hip-hop, reggae, ska . Later on I will tell you something about my favourite bands and singers. I also like trash music. Every week I start a little trash music party for my friends in my apartment. Furthermore I'm a big fan of soccer. My favourite soccerteam is the german team Schalke 04. I love to see plays in theaters und movies in the cinema together with my friends. Last but not least I love to travel around the world. I am always interested in getting to know new people, new cultures and new languages.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I have lived in a host family in Brazil for one year I really felt that I'm part of that family. This family was from a absolutly different culture but they still treated me like his own son. That was a fantastic feeling. I'm really thankful for this experience because I have seen that it doesn't matter where you come from or what you are because we as human beeings can be one international comunity without any borders. So let's start this mission and let's make it possible. Currently I am working as a volunteer in a big exchange organization for pupils from all over the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

Share some stories with other people of the community and have fun with them. Furthermore I really like to cook vegetarian meals. If you want to know little bit more about politics I am definitely the right guy aswell.
