CURRENT MISSION

Live in and explore Australia, get to know lots of new cool people and friends (and do a bit of studying)! ;)

ABOUT ME

Hi everyone!
My name is Ben, I just graduated in law in Germany and am now going to undertake a Master of Law course in Melbourne.
Next to studying I do lots of sports, among others handball, skateboarding and longboarding, basically anything that has to do either with a ball or a board ;)
I also like to and do party... a lot ;)
I laugh a lot and try to take life not so serious as it is already serious enough to my mind and I don't take myself too serious either :-P

I think it's quite hard to describe oneself here so I guess you would just have to get to know me while having a nice drink or so.. ;)

PHILOSOPHY

FAI TRANQUILLO!

("take it easy": first advice from my italian flatmate Antonio, when i arrived in Bologna, Italy)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have to admit, it's been quite a while since my last CS experience and involvement due to studying for bar exam in Germany. But I'd like to change this again!! :)

I probably would have to ask my flatmates first, cos they're not that familiar with the idea of CS. But apart from that there is always time for a beer we can have or so ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

had some very good experiences in Spain on a road trip (Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante, Madrid) and i casually met by couchsurfing.com some other guys i drove with to Morocco. it was damn good!!
i also had now some very good experiences with my couch in bologna (italy) while i was doing erasmus.

Interests

The skateboard has been my first and only real love. I also love to make party a lot, get to know new people, watch good movies, i am pretty much interested in everything.
On sunny days I love to just grab my board and cruise around the city or in the nature and relax with a nice cold beer afterwards!
