I'm a 27-year-old German that is currently travelling through South America.
Before I quit my job and left Germany, I worked as a sales manger for a steel tube trading company.
I'm from a medium-sized town called Essen which is located in the western part of Germany - in the Ruhr area.
When I'm not travelling, Essen as well is my place of residence.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people with different cultural backgrounds and opinions as for me the exchange of different ideas/beliefs/experiences means gaining knowledge.
Besides that I love spending quality time with open-minded persons having good talks, food and drinks for example. 😊

Interests

I love doing sports! In Germany I used to go to the gym about 4 times per week joining Zumba classes, TRX classes, boxing classes, barbell classes or simply doing some cardio/weight workouts by myself. Another thing I really enjoyed was going to the sauna afterwards doing sports.
I used to do Judo for some years, I like cycling and swimming as well. In summer I like doing a bit of windsurfing when I'm at the Baltic Sea - I'm still learning that though ...
In general I really like being outside and just going for a walk and wondering around.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like listening to many different types of music like for example House, Electro, Reggae, Reggaeton/generally a lot of music from South America, (Indie/Alternative) Rock and Pop.
I really like discovering new music/artists!
In Germany "Funkhaus Europa" is my favorite radio station e. g. as they are playing music from all over the world and as well from artists that are barely known in Germany.

Sometimos I really enjoy watching series/movies vía Netflix for example or going to cine, too, but normally I'd rather go for other activities like doing sports, going for a walk or going out with friends for example.

... You will barely find me Reading books I fear ... but sometimes even that can happen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling seems to be the most amazing thing I've done so far.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share the travelling experiences I've made so far. As well I can offer the cultural exchange being a German.
Regarding languages I could teach some German or English if that might be of interest. :)
