I grew up in different parts of Germany, mainly in Bavaria, where i finished school and learned to be a goldsmith.
In 2002 I moved to Lower Saxony.
I always rather liked solitude, living in little villages, not having too many people around me. That changed when I came to know the Parkour-Community of Hanover in 2013. To cut a long story short: now I live in Hanover, sharing a flat with two students, and I love it :-)
I have learned to see the city as a big playground, enjoy having as many of my friends around me as possible and meeting new people all the time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always wanted to travel but never really did it much. Only in very organised conditions. I guess I was too scared of... I actually don't even know what.
I have changed that now. I have been told that not having a lot of money is no excuse for not traveling, and I found it to be true so far.
Then I have been told about couchsurfing and that you can meet so interesting people that way, and everyone who talked to me about it, obviously loved it. They can't all be wrong, so this is me wanting to try it :-)

Interests

Parkour (I'm not good at it at all, but I love it anyway; everything from the sports-aspect to the philosophy. It's not about being good, it's about improving yourself in every way you can).
I also like medieval markets and reenactment. I make my own clothing and jewellery (not some Disney-nonsense, I try to have things as authentic as I can ;-)
When I travel I like to explore. I try to find good spots for training or I go to see historic sites or I go and explore nature. I can't say which I like most...

• clothing
• traveling
• sports
• historic sites
