About Me

I decided to take some months off from university and traveled South Africa and East Asia for three months. At the moment I'm freshly arrived in Karlsruhe in order to begin with the MSc Maschinenbau.

All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started using CS with a friend when we were trying to find somewhere to sleep in Lausanne, Switzerland - by lack of time, we finally couldn't make it with our host :( but the important part is that I got to know this great webpage, which is actually much more than a webpage ;)
Thanks Nik for the discovery!!

Since then, I have surfed in many cities, mainly in Europe, and hosted at my place in Barcelona and also in Munich. After all, I still don't have much experience with CS, but I'd like to change that soon ;)

Interests

Aquatic Sports (I enjoy improving my surf and kitesurfing skills), longboarding, language learning, chilling out,...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1-week long ecofriendly hike in the Wild Coast (SA) staying with locals and enjoying nature at its best.

Highest bungy jump in the world (Bloukraans).

Drive with my car on the motorway with a terribly hard rain and fog, not being able to see anything through the windscreen, not even the other cars or pavement lines, and still survive.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you many things from my city you would hardly find in any city guide.

Apart from that, you can learn how to do the perfect spanish tortilla, the reason why spaniards invented the siesta and why in Catalonia we eat 'pa amb tomàquet', among others ;-)

Countries I’ve Visited

Andorra, Austria, Bulgaria, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Morocco, Myanmar, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland, Thailand, Tunisia, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In

Germany, Spain
