About Me

Hey, my name is Marcel and currently living in Germany. I have been described as a laid-back and pleasant person to spend time with. I am completely devotetd to every kind of psychological topic and keep reading about how the human mind constantly changes in terms of environment and spiritual growth. While I am capable of talking about almost anything, my favorite role in a conversation is listening. Therefore, your life and culture are what fascinate me the most, as well as your values and your perception of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Adapting to each other and sharing experiences is highly important to me.
I have this kind of a life goal to connect as much people as possible to fullfill everyone´s personal needs and create a world full of fascinating, inspiring individual personalities. Not in terms of achievements but in terms of personal growth. I have a mindset that aims for universal well-being. Traveling and meeting new people in the past showed me that I should continue doing the same as I age. Or, as uncle Iroh once said „It is important to draw wisdom from many different places“.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music – I tend to stay open minded for different kinds of music and believe that some genres fit certain moments. For instance, I enjoy listening to romantic piano music one the one side and really intense deathcore on the other side.

Like to read about the psychology of dreams and everything about dreaming itself. Dreaming is a big part of my life! My goal has been to share all my knowledge on this topic and to coach other people to be a master of their dreams.

Tv-Shows - It is pretty mind-blowing how awesome Avatar The Last Airbender is. A well-made Tv show that I have watched multiple times.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- spent couple of months in a Buddhist monastery and got taught buddha´s teaching
- traveled through New Zealand with a camper van and met great people
- attended tantra courses and got deeper knowledge from the art of loving
- attended Wim Hof breathing courses to practice my breathing
- During the winter season I do ice bathing regularly and connected to many people with the same interest
- spent time in a castle as a gardener
- Went clay bird shooting
- Worked in a semi Italian restaurant (They made Italian food but all the stuff were Serbians and non Italian backpackers, food was still beyond delicious and I got taught lots of kitchen knowledge)

Teach, Learn, Share

- Seeing as how you've always wanted to fight and defend yourself with a stick, here's your chance! The martial art I am currently learning is Balintawak or also known as Escrima, which originates from the Philippines. Am ready to teach and prepare someone to be a skilled opponent. Or if you are experienced in this fighting art by any chance, I enjoy being a student also.
- started playing piano from time to time on a beginner level
- Lucid Dreaming: I learned how to have more controlled and vivid dreams and ready to share my knowledge and experience

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would like to invite you to sample a few of my recipes I learned along the way. The cooking style varies between Korean, Chinese, Italian, Indonesian or a mixture of different flavours.

I am respectful and flexible. The plans of my host are important to me, and I want to make his life as easy as possible.

Countries I’ve Visited
