Hello! I'm Vincent, glad to meet you!Welcome to my profile, I am more than happy to introduce myself! :)

I am interested in a lot of different things; I like to meet new people, no matter where you're from, what you do or what you think about certain things. I really like to hear and learn new stuff which I never thought about :)
Being open for new stuff is one of the most important things for me. I am friendly, easygoing and have some sense for humor (at least I think so).
I would describe myself as a semi-outgoing person, I like being with people but also enjoy some quiet time and prefer a nice conversation with a beer over excessive partying.
I finished school in 2017 and drove to Central Asia in 2018 (Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan etc.) with my car own my own — definitely the best thing I did so far! I still enjoy traveling by car and road trips in general.
I studied European Politics in Germany and Slovenia, and lived in Egypt for a few months. Now, I am studying a Master's degree at the University of Luxembourg.

What else about me? Well, I like to discuss, talk about different topics, go for a walk, I like adventures but also relaxing... Yeah, that's it pretty much, it's always hard to describe yourself, I'm sure I forgot something! I like to experience the unusual, therefore I’m trying to do things not that many have done before.

As I'm not traveling at the moment, I try to give back the great experiences I had through staying at people's places by hosting and helping people now

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to actually meet people to know more about them and their opinions. I like the idea of being involved into someone's life with all the ups and downs that come with traveling to foreign countries. I do not want to only stay, I want to live, and Couchsurfing is definitely the best option to do that.
Remember: In the end it's the people that make a change! This is why I am also available as a host, I'm giving my best so that you'll have a good time here.
I also enjoy discussions and talks about life to hear other opinions, which you cannot get when staying in an anonymous place.

I prefer reading a good book over watching a movie, but I'm open for everything!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just too many, I guess... But I think joining Couchsurfing and actually start traveling in general and meeting awesome people.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I'm only 22, so there's not tooo much I can teach you — but maybe I can give you a different perspective on things, or inspire you to something new... We'll see! I love to share my stories and pictures :)
I am always ready to help!

My place is always open, coffee, tea etc. can be on in minutes. I try my best to be available and help you — nothing is worse than going through certain things alone.
