I'm a well-balanced, helpful, pragmatic, open-minded person and want to know more about the world I live in than I have time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've just been surfing on others people's couches, best in combination with a hitchhiking tour. But eventually I could convince my roomies to let surfers stay with us. It depends on their OK in each individual case though but it doesn't hurt to ask ;-)

I see Couchsurfing as the perfect way to visit foreign places and get to really learn about different cultures, cities, people.

Interests

food, computers, sports (especially football), travelling, DIY projects. But as an open-minded person I can't really say that there is anything I'm not generally interested in ;-) I get inspired and excited about stuff very easily.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a hitchhiking and Couchsurfing tour through Western Europe in 2009. That was the time when I had my first Couchsurfing experiences and fell in love with that kind of travel <3

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a Student in Media Computer Science so stuff like programming is kind of my expertise. Some basic lessons in Webdesign, JavaScript or Java shouldn't be a problem ;-)

I really like (cooking) food, preferably in company, so cooking and eating together would be a nice thing to do.
