I spend 2 years of studying and working in Bulgaria and now I'm working for a car supplier close to Dortmund.
Every weekend i still come to my hometown, where i live with a friend, for parties and my family.

The weekly journey from home to my work place and not living alone are the reasons, why i currently can't host people. I'm looking forward to change that. :D

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In August 2016 I quit my job to travel around the world in a self-built Mini-Mini-Bus (check the pictures). I want to visit as many countries and friends as possible and hope to find new ones as well.

I'm half introvert and half extrovert. When I feel comfortable, you'll see what I mean. ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After my time in Bulgaria, I had to find a job in Germany and become a serious person. This just didn't work out for me and probably never will. (Even at work I'm always the one who finds the unconventional solutions and behaves like a buddy with the biggest boss. So don't expect a typical "german" guy. :D )
Therefore I did everything to escape the ordinary life and even did overhours to go on travelling on my holidays.

Couchsurfing was the best opportunity to find similar minded people and spend some great time abroad. I'm living in hotels where my company sends me all the time and I wouldn't like to be in some beautiful place and then live like I always do.

Many of the friends I met by Couchsurfing and still after many years we meet from time to time and stay in contact. To meet awesome people is the best thing you can have in life and I hope to have many more coincidences like that.

Music, Movies, and Books

Everything handmade and not made for selling. I like when the musicians put their heart and passion in their music and not some kind of producer like it's common in simple radio channels.

I love watching movies and have seen more than I can count. It's hard to pick a favorite, even a favorite genre. But anyways I like it when there's a puzzled story (Memento, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Lucky Number Slevin, ...), some great atmosphere (Melancholia, Black Snake Moan, Le Pacte des Loups, The Cube, ...) or simply beautiful music (The Island, A Beautiful Mind, Drive).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing for me? For others?

Every little thing can have something amazing. I can cook some amazing soups for you for example. :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people to not take everything so serious and that there is something positive in everything.
Also I can fix stuff. I'm an engineer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always ready to go out and do something. If you feel tired or unmotivated, I can share my attitude and change your mood.
