...Don't pay attention to the response rate...

Lately I'm getting lots of requests. Please be creative or at least more personal. And don't tell me you don't need to spend time with me... Because that's the sense of couchsurfing getting to know each other a bit.

ABOUT ME

Hello,yeah that's me Stephan. I'm a teacher for High School. And now the standard rate: I'm really open minded and easy going :-D I think you can have a good time with me! I love meeting people and go out with them. I think I'm a really kind person, who loves to make some new friends. What can I add? I do sports, go working to earn money for living and traveling ;-D You can ask me about everything you want to know about me and Germany, Leipzig/Quedlinburg or even Hamburg (but still getting to know Hamburg) whatever ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

If you see someone without a smile, give them yours! =)

Freedom is more than the selection at the supermarket.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

meet and make friends =)
host some nice guys and also surf on some couches

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted some people and showed them my life in Leipzig and now in Hamburg. And I also surfed on couches. I met great people while traveling =)

Interests

I'm always on my bike. So if you wanna get around Hamburg with me, it's better by bike. My interests are varied. I do some sports, currently badminton, volleyball and sometimes the gym. Also trying to go more with my SUP board (stand up paddle). Anyone who is interested?
I play the guitar (but just for me). So I love music. I listen to a lot of kinds of music. But mainly I love Techno/Minimal, Alternative and Indie.
What else? Of course I'm very interested in traveling and meeting people all over the world. I want to get to know other countries and their culture and society.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music? There is a lot! A lot that I would like to share with you guys! For example there are some special DJs like Nicola Cruz, Bebetta, Gesaffelstein, AKA AKA and many many more. And of course Indie-music like The Kooks, Mando Diao, Wolf Gang, Half Moon Run, DhakaBraka and yeah there are so many very good bands. I like a lot of kinds of music!
There are also some good movies: Memoires of a Geisha, Adam resurrected and the funniest movie ever (for me) The Money Pit and PalmSprings. There are also some very good series like Weeds.
At the moment I love books about teachers or from teachers. If you have any recommendations, I will be happy ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw a lot of amazing things, but mainly in Germany. Leipzig, Quedlinburg and Hamburg are really beautiful cities and you can see a lot. You can go up to the highest building in Leipzig and this is really beautiful especially at night. In Hamburg you can go up the Elbphilharmonie or Müllberg.
"Rügen", a german island, is really beautiful too. There are chalk rocks at the coast.
Close to my parentstown are some legendary places, like the "Hexentanzplatz" (= witches dancing place) in the "Harz". "Harz" is a low mountain range in the middle of Germany.
Swimming in a lagoon in Mexico at night. It was glowing/shining =)

Teach, Learn, Share

First of all I can show you a lot of biochemical things, but I think it isn't in your interest.
I can cook but I enjoy more cooking with others.
I would like to learn some new meals, maybe from other countries.
I can teach you German. I can also show you to play badminton and play the guitar, but I'm not an expert ;-)
In addition I can show you the botanical garden and the zoological garden in Leipzig or now in Hamburg and of course a german beer garden :-D

I would like to improve my French and Spanish. Playing some other instruments would be nice too. I think you can learn something from each person.
