CURRENT MISSION

Spend my free time wisely, I won't be a student forever
Also: Get a PhD.

ABOUT ME

Today I am quite an outgoing and outspoken person, and I love a good laugh (Yes, I'm German and I'm very much into comedy, it's an oxymoron). I used to be quite shy and reserved as a teenager, but that changed in the last 5-6 years.

I'm pretty much always game for a good indie/rock/alternative party/concert, or just a quiet drink at a pub/coffee place.

PHILOSOPHY

Something between Epictetus and Epicurus.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't do much travelling at the moment, but I'd rather stay with a couple of you guys and meet new people that way than stay in a hostel for my next trip. (Only used CS for short trips so far).

Also, if you want to come to Heidelberg, and experience the indie/rock/alternative nightlife, please feel free to contact me. I'm also in for just a quiet beer/coffee.

English, German and some French spoken. Esperanto is experimental as of now, but I'd love to try and speak Esperanto.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nothing too spectacular. It's up to you to change that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have no idea what I could write here. I'm pretty much self-taught in most of the things that I can do (technical/computer stuff, programming, etc.), but I'd love to meet people with whom I can practice languages. Especially French (3 years at school 7 years ago and I'm still quite rubbish) or Esperanto (self-taught, can read/write stuff, but never tried to have a fluent conversation).
