About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Reading this kinda scary "Learn a language in 7 days" book and attempting managing Català with it

ABOUT ME

I'm studying engineering. My best mate says I'll never work as such. Worked at the German Youth branch of Friends of the Earth in my 'alternative service for conscientious objectors' (had to look that one up ;-)

I have worn a mullet with pride

PHILOSOPHY

The only way to end a boring tale that nobody is listening to anymore without losing all your dignity is "...and then I found five bucks!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately I can not yet offer a couch, basically because I don't have one, well, to be honest I'll gonna be kind of homeless anyway till September.

What I can offer is lovely German cuisine and I'm working on jokes in Spanish language. I can be a city guide in Valencia and Berlin. Ask me anything about football, but no obligation...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My BelgianFrenchIsraeli friend Tal is almost the only one that supplied me with couch surfing experiences. Really enjoyed being around the company he had.

Interests

Languages are cool - Kaixo! Ni Micha naiz!
I like eating/cooking good fresh food. Getting more and more fascinated with France and the country's and people's diversity

I love proverbs and metaphorical language and try and get as many into the languages I learn as possible. Know some mindblowing ones? Bring'em on!
