Hey there, my name is Joel and I'm 31 years old and after studying computer science I started to work in IT project management. I'm an open-minded person and always like to hear new stories from different countries/perspectives :) Valuing tolerance and supporting the LGBTQIA-Community is important for me 🏳️🌈 In my free time I like to play beachvolleyball, spikeball and squash, to have board game evenings with friends and I sing in a choir. I'm also into dancing and started to learn Forro this year. Besides that I explored some other dances like Brazilian Zouk and Tango Argentino and discovered fusion dance 3 years ago, which is free and improvised partner dance.

El mejor consejo de viaje que he recibido es...
Currently I really enjoy to combine traveling with attending dance festivals. I've been doing fusion dance for 3 years now, which is free and improvised partner dance. Feel free to ask me about that! Besides that I also started to dance Forro this year, which is a Brazilian partner dance. Combining dance festivals with traveling is great because you already have a nice community and see new places and have a fun time with dancing.
Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing
Because it is a really great idea to get to know the local people and also you can get a very different and way more interesting view of the places that you visit. Also I like to discuss any kind of topics with new people, because I think it's really interesting to get to know a different point of view of a person who might also live in a different country than myself.
Música, películas y libros
For music I mainly like indie/rock but I also listen to many other kinds of music. Some bands that I like to listen to: Halestorm, Madsen, Bukahara, The Pretty Reckless, Linkin Park, Billy Talent, Die Ärzte, Talco, Leoniden, Wir sind Helden and Jamaram. I'm a big fan of fantasy books and thrillers.

Mis intereses
I really like to do sports, especially beachvolleyball, badminton, table tennis and spikeball/roundnet but actually I'm in for any sporty activities. I enjoy to have board game evenings with friends and also have a big collection of board games at home. I also like to read, listen to music and to meet and exchange with new people. Occasionally I also like to dance (recently Balfolk and Fusion) and I also sing in a choir for more than 8 years now.
