ABOUT ME

I would say I'm an open minded, spontaneous, friendly and easy-going guy. In the end I think I'm in need of harmony, I don't like disputes and people who always try to create some disharmonism. Wherever I went, I never had problems to make friends. My friends like me because I'm a funny person and there's definitely no chance of boredom as long as I'm around.
I know it always sounds suspicious when people just tell positive things about themselves but I really don't know what negative aspects I could talk about. Maybe I'm a bit lazy now and then...

However, I like beer (As a born bavarian guy I can justifiably claim myself as a beer expert), music (I play drums) and sports, especially football (of course the european one (I just hate the word soccer)) and basketball. Therefore I'm a fan of Bayern Munich and the Dallas Mavs, the latter primarily due to the German Wunderkind aka Dunkingschnitzel aka DN41 aka Dirk Werner Nowitzki! Because of that, I like to stay awake the whole night and watching NBA games.

Oh and I just realized I like to use complicated, multi-clause sentences with thousands of brackets :)

PHILOSOPHY

My motto is a bavarian philosophy: "Scheiß da nix dann feid da nix"
It means something like "You will have a great time in life if you don't take things too seriously"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about couchsurfing from my best friend who made a road trip through the USA and he was fascinated by couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During my semester abroad in the US I surfed so many times and whereever I've been I just met nice and friendly people who showed me nothing than hospitality. The craziest experience was definitely at Key West, Florida, where I stayed with a guy who lived on a boat!

During my time in Sweden, I had a convenient place so I felt it's time to give something back, thus I hosted a few people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Generally there's no music I definitely don't like.
I like punkrock like Blink182, Sum41, Greenday, Reel Big Fish,..I like some Hiphop, for example Eminem or german Rappers like Prinz Pi or Dendemann. I also like metal, for example System of a Down. However, I can enjoy listen to smoothly music like Katie Melua.
Finally, sometimes there's nothing better than some classic music, one of my favorites are the Peer Gynt Suites 1&2 by Edvard Grieg.
Anyway, my favorite song, band or genre changes every two days.

Regarding movies, I like action movies with Jason Statham or Jackie Chan, funny and kind of stupid movies,...

I like reading humorous and amusing books, for example books from Nick Hornby

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After finishing my A levels, I made a roadtrip with my best pal and another good friend, we went to france and spain and just had such a great time, it was a pure feeling of freedom and that was one of the best feelings I ever had.

Two years ago I went with my girlfriend to morocco. Sleeping in the desert under thousands of stars was pretty impressive.

During my semester abroad in the US I traveled almost every weekend and could basically write a whole book with crazy stories. However, a biketour with some aligators lying just one feet away, watching a live NBA game of the Dallas Mavericks, sleeping on a boat in Key West, watching literally millions of bats flying out of a bridge in Austin or admiring the christmas tree in front of the Rockefeller Center in NYC were definitely some of the absolute highlights.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you German language, culture or history. In all modesty, I claim myself as an expert in European Soccer and NBA Basketball, so if you're interested in these things I'm sure we will have some great discussions.

Since I just arrived in Munich couple weeks ago, I don't know much about the city yet. So let's just explore it together!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everything I can! I don't want to be any burden, instead I like to contribute by cleaning after, filling up the fridge or bringing some beers. And of course I would love to share any kind of stories of my life.
Besides, anybody who ever hosted me will have a lifetime guarantee of being hosted by me whenever it's possible!
