Hey my name is Marten. I'm doing History, Latin and Spanish at the Uni Bonn for teaching profession. I guess people would describe me as an easy-going and uncomplicated person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling different places from around the world can really help you see things out of different perspectives.

Interests

Doing sports, I have to say that the one which usted to suit me the most was doing racing cycling.

Listening to music (just no monotonous techno pls), dancing and drinking.

Having a chat about current topics and situations in the world. But sometimes I just feel like all the political things have a very bad effect on my mood.

I can be quite passionate about the hsv, Hamburger Sport Verein, which can be quite shite because they do not play well anymore

I am also very good at pancakes by the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

If you want to get a great understanding of what the German society was like between the 1st and 2nd WW and how the Nazis rose to power, I can suggest the books of Volker Kutscher. The first book is called "Der nasse Fisch" and the series' name is "Babylon Berlin".

I love rock and indie music.
Favourite bands/artists: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, The Strokes, Faber, Broilers, Queens of the Stone Age, Wanda, Radiohead (and probably more)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Discovering CS, spending a year living in Ireland, seeing NYC as little child.

Teach, Learn, Share

Nothing is steadier than change. My mother always used to say that and it helped me a lot through difficult times.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I always try to adapt myself wherever I am
