Well how to start, I'm Maurice, I just finished my PhD in chemistry in Düsseldorf. Friends would describe me as an easygoing person, sometimes more of a quiet person, who always seems to find someone I know wherever I go.
Matching to my studies you can imagine I really like most things nerd and geek such as video games, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, medieval markets and so on and on.
Not so matching to my studies might be my passion for dancing. I started dancing many of the social (waltz...) and latin (chacha, rumba...) dances when I was 17 and have since expanded to Salsa/Bachata/Zouk/Kizomba/WCS.
Whenever there is time left over I also like to explore and enjoy new cuisine, go bouldering or go for a drink with friends

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During a trip I talked to someone who was currently searching for a few nights to stay and she showed me how this is a pretty nice site to get to know new people while visiting other cities.
I found the idea quite interesting and thought of trying it out.

Interests

• dancing
• bouldering

Music, Movies, and Books

My most favored genres are Sci-fi and fantasy, so I absolutely love the Star Wars Saga. Bookwise my favorite (next to star wars books) is probably "The Secret of Askir". It is written by a german author so I'm not sure whether there exists a translated version in english.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last minute volunteer at a Salsa-Festival in Amsterdam. Two days before the festival started I was asked if I had time the weekend. Packed my things and took the next opportunity to Amsterdam. Had a blast dancing and working there.
