About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Agenda 2020: Grow a beard

ABOUT ME

Open-minded, curious, love to laugh, hate to be alone, always up for a drink. Did my studies in Regensburg, moved to Cologne for my first big boy job and to the city of love for the second one.

PHILOSOPHY

"A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions" - Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Got into couchsurfing in fall '14 during my semester in the States and find it amazing. Got to know so many incredible people who gave me a glimpse into their lives.

Interests

Some more, some less profound: Football (playing and watching), sports in general, music, politics (amateur level), late night talks, travelling, eating and - I can’t stress that enough - sleeping.

Music, Movies, and Books

Started with rock/punk/metal, then discovered hip hop and arrived at electro/techno couple of years ago. Spotify playlist count is 34..

I also have a greatly sorted 'tsundoku' (Japanese word for books piling up on your shelve unread). Reading right now: Johann Hari - Chasing the Scream

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two things: Going to a Russian sauna in Moscow and staying at a winter camp in the polar circle. Will tell you both stories when we meet.

Teach, Learn, Share

Would consider myself an eager learner who enjoys talking to people that are willing to share their passion. I can teach you two words that have left a mark on me: Nescience and sonder.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My interests I hope. People say I'm talkative and at times quite funny so tell me baby what's your story, where you come from and where you wanna go this time oh. Got you singing?
