Hi everyone, I am David. I live near the German city of Aachen, just behind the Belgian border in a small village called Raeren. It will be best to just meet me because I fail to describe myself adequately.. my friends say I'm ambitious, friendly and a bit crazy. I have been playing music (guitar and drums) since I was 8 years old and traveling has always been at the very end of every effort I have made.

In 2022 I finished my PhD studies in plant biochemistry and went on a trains-and-buses-only trip through Europe with my girlfriend Linda! Now I grow my own veggies and try to explain the science behind it 😊

📍 Currently in Belgium 🇧🇪

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I surfed the couches of Europe, Asia and South America - amongst others. Now, my couch is free for visitors from all over the world. 🙏

Teach, Learn, Share

If you have the instrument with you, I could teach you something on the guitar or the drums. I am a half native speaker (English) and if you need any help languagewise - no problem 😅
