About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Today is the first day of the rest of my life.

ABOUT ME

Hey!
My name is Tom, I'm 25 years old and I have had the chance to travel trough North America (Canada in particular) for one year after I finishes High School in Germany.
I would describe myself as an open-minded, easy-going person with an international mindset. But find out yourself :)
I just moved to Leipzig and can finally host again (living in a big shared apartment - juhu!). So if you're coming through Leipzig feel free to contact me!

In the summer of 2016 I went on a bike trip through France and Spain. I was on the road for almost 2 months and had such a good time! Ever since I'm really into small-big adventures, like going on multi-day hikes, wild camping and sleeping under the stars!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Living together with people who also believe that space, energy and basically any resource should be shared I am finally able again to give something back to the couchsurfing community. I was really lucky in 2012 to meet a lot of inspiring people through CS and to visit so many different places. Our new shared apartment in Leipzig that I just moved into is too big to have it only shaped by the characters and energies of us 5 who permanently live there. May we inspire one another through our encounters!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to share with you my past couchsurfing experiences. I'm trying to host people as often as possible.

Interests

Hiking, cycling, cooking and camping are just a few of the things I love to do. I also enjoy preparing meet-free (especially vegan) meals as well.
Spirituality (in the form of meditation and yoga) have also become really important to me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During my trip I've already seen and experienced a lot of amazing things I'd love to share with you!
Vipassana <3

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to do my best to share my favorite recipes with you, which are mostly vegan. I would also love to share my (still little) knowledge about meditation and my understanding of the essence of the teachings of the Buddha with you!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to prepare a delicious vegetarian / vegan meal (meals) for my potential hosts. I could also help you fixing bikes - I am working part-time in a bike shop since a couple of months.
