Well,... What to tell?
I was born and raised in Berlin, Germany. That's also where I studied electrical engineering. I finished that in 2011 and in October 2011 I moved to Graz, Austria, where I found a job as an embedded system engineer. I work on the development of different sensors for a rebreather and the development of devices that allow physiological measurements on scuba divers under water. Besides that I'm trying to get a doctoral degree in medical science.
In my free time I love playing all kinds of sports and spend a lot of time outdoors. My "main" hobby is underwater rugby. Other than that I really enjoy riding my bikes (street bike and mountain bike). The region around Graz is great for that. I'm also a scuba diving instructor. At the moment I don't really teach diving, but I go diving a lot on my vacations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling. Besides seeing new places, I like getting to know new people and cultures. I feel like couchsurfing is a great way to really get in touch with locals. Unfortunately I haven't used it a lot since I joined, but I want to change that.

Interests

I'm very interested in sports, especially water sports. I am a scuba diving instructor and I play unterwater rugby (a really fun sport not a lot of people know). One of my next missions is to learn how to sail and surf. Biking, skiing, and just being outdoors are also great.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Well, I like watching movies, but I don't do it a lot. Favorite movie is I guess "Home alone", oh and "Gran Torion" was also really good.
Music: I love listening to all kinds of music, but rock is my favorite genre.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spend two extended periods of time in the USA. I went to high school in Kanses for a school year and I studied in Arizona for two semesters. Both times were really great experiences.
During my studies I used a lot of my vacations to work as a scuba diving instructor on different Spanish islands. Unfortunately that didn't improve my Spanish, but those times were real fun. Sometimes I feel like I should quit my regular job for a while I spend some more time teaching scuba diving in some awesome location. And there are a lot of places around the world that would probably be really cool to live at for a while and go diving every day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to scuba dive and a lot about electrical engineering if you like.
I'd like to learn/improve my spanish. I took classes at the university and spent some time on different Spanish island, but my spoken Spanish is really bad which is sad.
