ABOUT ME

Adventurous---open-minded---interested in other people/opinions/cultures---enjoying life---always good for an adventure!

I was raised in Hildesheim and Stuttgart, where I went to Highschool and enjoyed my youth. For my studies, I moved to Munich. After my 2nd year I decided to go to Chengdu for a semester abroad....here I am.

PHILOSOPHY

We can't change the wind, but we can adjust our sails!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I share an appartment with a friend from Germany.
However, we have one free room with a large bed inside and a huge couch.....in short: hosting

The only disadvantage is, that the door to the free room is made out of glass (but we can put a sheet on it). To compensate ;)...there is an aircon in the room and we have a washing machine!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm the new guy.

Interests

I'm really into traveling around! I want to experience as much as possible in my life. But I don't want to rush through the countries as a tourist only, I want to live in some and experience the culture and the people.

I like doing sports in general and I'm a huge fan of extreme sports- in Germany I'm driving downhill (just to get an impression: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7fNWw2fBQ0 ....of course I'm not that good ;).

I play tennis, often go sailing in the holidays and love running / going to the gym.

Music, Movies, and Books

In my eyes Cristoph Waltz is one of the best actors (Inglorious Bastards, Django, Der Gott des Gemetzels)!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- my gf's and my trip up the west coast of the U.S.
- several sailing trips in Italy, Greek and Turkey

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach german if anyone is interested ;)

---------------------------------------------
I'm gorging myself with these countless chinese characters from the textbook, however it would be awesome to learn some useful ones as well! So it would be 太壮了if someone would help me to improve my basic 听说:)
My chinese actually isn't good enough to have a real conversation, so we would still speak english or german most of the time and I can help you to improve your 听说 as well.
