Hey Couchsurfers!
My name is Tobi, im 20 years old and come from Freiburg at the Southwest of Germany. At the moment I'm studying in Heidelberg, Germany, to become a teacher once.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I'm on a trip with the scouts or alone, I often think about the basic expression of being on the road:
"When you wake up in the morning, you don't know yet where you're gonna go to bed in the evening."
Following this thinking, I like the idea of Couchsurfing because it puts people from everywhere together and lets you learn about a country or a place from a local.

Interests

Since I've been a scout for all of my life, I naturally love being outside, hiking, cycling and watching the nature.

I've started to play Softball⚾️ at our university team, but you can have hour-long philosophical talks about football with me as well⚽️

After finishing my A-levels, I lived on the island Sylt for one year, doing a voluntary year with a nature protection NGO. That's why I love being at the sea, watching birds whereever I go and keeping an eye on travelling and living more sustainable ( If you want, let's go birding together!🐥🦅)

I've always been a musician - I love playing bassoon and guitar, and I'm currently trying to improve my ukulele skills🎸

Music, Movies, and Books

I like listening to Rock, Indie, HipHop and more, mostly German Bands.

Books I just read and loved:
"King Rat" by James Clavell, "The Genius of Birds" by Jennifer Ackerman

I like movies ranging from Science-Fiction, action and fantasy to classics such as Blues Brothers, Star Wars or Monty Python.
Absolute favourite: The Hunt for Red October

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd describe myself as a funny, friendly and uncomplicated person. My cooking skills focus on improvised action, so don't expect a 5-Star-Menu but I can always mix something tasty :D
I'm always in for chilling with music and a beer, and I love learning from and talking with locals, even if we don't have much time together☺
