About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to meet as many people as possible around the globe with different backgrounds and different cultures to make new friends and to understand how other cultures work

ABOUT ME

I am a very open-minded and helpful person. I am easy to get along and love any kind of challenging situation or person. I am not an exactly straightforward guy and like to try out everything! Normally I am joining everywhere if I have enough time and money and want to meet as many people as possible all over the world to get a great network of friends around the globe. I’ve got a positive attitude no matter what happens and, probably most important, people can always rely on me. In my free-time I enjoy sports like running or anything else what seems to be fun. I also spent a lot of time with friends, trying to connect and stay in touch.

PHILOSOPHY

It is not wrong to go one step back to prepare yourself for the jump. Just trust the people around you and let them show you the wonders of (their) world. Be open-minded to minimize the risk to miss the moments in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I heard the first time from this great community I just had the possibility to try it one time in Riga to use a couch, but I want to change this now and help to increase the community. Currently I work in few groups and want to exchange cultural experiences during my travelling. When I am back and I have a flat in Germany or somewhere else I will provide my couch as well, of course.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not so much experience in Couchsurfing so far, as I mentioned before, but I will write some stories in that box as soon as I have some good ones But I still can remember my feelings before I tried Couchsurfing the first time in Riga. It was awesome crazy to go to a completely unknown person in a countryyou did’t know (except for some emails…) and which language you didn’t speak and it was awesome great to find a friend in that area who provides you with his home and a lot more! I loved the experience!

Interests

I am interested in everything which is different. I try to do everything to get my own opinion about it. I ‘m travelling all over the world and I love to discover the international economics in all points. That’s why I studied what I studied and that’s why I have international job. :-)

Nothing special…

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing? I think there is more than one thing I saw which was amazing: The White Mosque in Abu Dhabi, the tallest building in the world in Dubai, the White Cathedral in Helsinki, Europe itself and a lot of different cultures! The most amazing thing I’ve done I guess was to celebrate with Spanish people (who celebrate long), Polish and Russian people (who celebrate alot), Finnish and a lot of other nations in Turku/Finland!

Teach, Learn, Share

What I can teach you? I think some German values, German itself or something about money and business around the world. I hope I learn a lot during my journey and can tell you some stories about what happens all over the world.
