I like to make new experiences and get to know as much of the world that I can. I rather regret the things that I have done, than those I have not done. When traveling I most enjoy to meet with people and talk about whatever. I am a firm believer that you can get to know a place much better and easier when talking to people as opposed to looking at buildings or sites. Went to school / studied in Germany and the US and worked in Germany and London. I try to get to at least one country each year that I haven’t seen yet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the spirit of the community. I mainly use it to meet people when I am away from home and have never been disappointed. It‘s a great opportunity to meet people that you would not usually come across in daily life and ro really get to know a new place easily and at a much deeper level than with any typical sightseeing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Wide range. EDM is one of my favorite styles when exercising or going out (I know I have a bad taste...😜😂) I don’t watch much TV and prefer more interactive things. Prefer to read non-fiction books (e.g. Harari) and wish I had more time for reading.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hanging out with different couchsurfers almost every day when traveling in 2 weeks through Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong and Taipei. Finalizing the last 100 steps when climbing Kilimanjaro - it was more exhausting than a 10k run. Taking a train from Moscow to Beijing - really helps to slow down :-).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company, appetite to do the wild and crazy things (but not only these), ability to listen, teaching wakeboarding and skiing basics, travel stories from some 60 countries.
