Hi! I'm Tom and I just got back from a long trip through Canada and the U.S. I started using couchsurfing there and met some amazing people. Now I'm looking forward to pay some of that hospitality back and start hosting travelers here in Dresden.
So if you're looking for a host or someone to hang out with or show you around, hit me up we'll see if we can make it happen!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I noticed that my way of traveling let's you see a lot of the beautiful landscape, but you only get to know the locals on a superficial level. Couchsurfing is a good way to change that and better get in touch with locals and fellow travellers. I met amazing people and experienced so much hospitality, couchsurfing really has been awesome so far.
Now it's time for me to get a taste of the other side and see how it is to be the host myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess I could teach you one or two things about my region's history and culture, about architecture in general and some German of course. I'm also a pretty decent city guide for Dresden and the towns around.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories of my travels, an open ear for your stories and maybe a nice German or Italian recipe?
