About Me

There is not a lot to say about me, I am a happy person I guess. I love my life, its not special but anyway I like it. The last years I tried to explore many things so I did hiking trips, was traveling by bike in Catalunya one month to study the independence movement there while I did my university entrance exams, after I went to Costa Rica and after I did backpacking in Peru for almost one month.

I love languages so I am really happy if you can teach me something!
I don't really know what to tell about me, there are many things but best would be if you just meet me and you will have your own impression.
In my references you can see what other people think about me :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just signed up because I was curious about it, then I did it one month in Catalunya which was amazing and now I feel like I wanna host people as well. I think there is no need for an explanation why to all those who love the community feeling just as I do :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I think my music, etc. taste doesn't tell too much about me, so to keep this profile a bit shorter, just let yourself be surprised during a jam session with friends, my bookshelf, etc :)
I keep a list of recommendations by couchsurfer's who stayed with me, so I will never run out of ideas.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching:
- Being happy with a simple, nature-connected and as much as possible environmentally friendly way of live :)
- Cooking (my friends say it is almost always very good but never excellent as I am more of an efficient/practical chef but maybe you can still teach me how to make it special)
- Rock-climbing is the sports I do most and there are great places around my hometown!
- Living outside
- Geography related things that might interest you
- I am better at showing you the nature places in and around the city than the city itself, but I have a friend who gives excellent city tours!

Learning:
- languages, I love picking up some new things and connect them to the language knowledge I already have
- new types of sports, dancing, food, etc.
- I appreciate tips for good books, etc.
- if you can teach me how to become less perfectionist and more of a minimalist (which I am convinced I am already by heart), you can stay with me forever :D
- I am basically eager to learn a lot of new things except for things about celebrities or strong material consumerism related stuff

Sharing:
- time
- my home
- food (I get most of it from foodsharing)
- tips

What I Can Share with Hosts

My home and good time! :)

5 Things you should consider sending a request:

- I would like to spend time with you! Thats why I am doing that :) But as I am working a lot thats not always possible, so I cannot promise.

- I have a flatmate and there are nearly no doors in our apartment, so please respect her privacy,...

- If you want to party on weekdays, thats fine with me, you can come home late but don't forget that me and my neighbors are working early the next day and there are children in the same house.

- I am not living in Heidelberg city centre! Its around 15 minutes by tram to the centre, main railway station, historic centre,..

- My apartment is not perfectly equipped as I am living here only for some months. So if you need something, just ask me and I try to help you :) You will sleep on a matress in the same room as me. I have a thin blanket for you. You can use the kitchen, just leave it clean (same with the bathroom). If you wanna take food, please ask.

DO NOT SMOKE INSIDE THE APARTMENT OR ON THE BALCONY (my landlord is strict about that).
So if you send a request, please confirm that you are aware of the smoking issue.
