About Me

I've got a bachelor degree in medical technologies. But I don't know what to do next in my life... yet. So I quit my appartement and sold part of my stuff and now I'm traveling, hopping to find the answer.
One of my biggest passions are martial arts (kickboxing, muay thai, brazilian jiu-jitsu) and I want to keep learning as much as I can about these and practice. I'm also very interested in general in all kinds of extreme or exotic sports as well as music, an other big passion of mine. Besides I very enjoy sharing my knowledge about these things.
A current goal of mine is to increase my language skills especially Spanish, since this is a beautiful language and comes in very handy in South America which was and will againg be one of my next travel destinations after I visited Skandinavia, Japan, Korea and central America.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking forward to meet new interesting people and that way maybe getting even more insights about the places I'm visiting and last but not least I hope to embrace my horizon.. .

Interests

sport, music, people, philosophie and traveling oc

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to so much music genres, it's hard to list them all down here, so I'm only gonna list some of my favorites here:
- Rock
- Hip Hop
- Reggae
- Techno
- Psytrance
- Metalcore
... I know, it's a weird mix, isn't it?

I'm not much of a book reader to be honest, but I really appreciate good stories, preferably in a movie format. Some of my favorites, are movies like: Interstellar, Casablanca, LOTR, The Matrix trilogy, Gladiator, Forest Gump, Inseption, Fight Club, 12 Angry Man etc.
Recently I started to listen to audio books, hence might compensate a little bit for my layzyness about book reading.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many things... One of the things which stucked to my mind though is, the feeling of somehow being conected to people I met on my journey.
An other experience conected to this feeling is, when I was in Da Nang supporting a friend in giving some volunteer English classes to a local English school. Seeing all this stundents and helping them was just a beautiful experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I already named a few things under my personal description. A thing that I especially like to do though which is not necessarily related to sports or traveling in specific, is to philosophy, no matter about what; life, God, nature, society, the human race... You name it.
