☝️ You are just looking for a place to sleep I am not your host! ☝️ If you arrive late night and leave early in the morning please book hotel/hostel. 📌I don't host you because of your skills or your travel/couchsurfing experiences. I host you for your attitude. 📌 I don’t care if you have references or not. I even don't care if you are a weirdo. 😄 ❗️But I DO CARE if you one of those shy and prudish people. Sorry but I can’t handle this. I prever to host Travelers, Hitchhikers and people who like to stay with other surfers. I don't like to be "Plan B" for tourist hotspot jumper.🧐 📌I prefer happy people. So if you are depressive or complaining all the time don't send me a request+++ 📌No prudish people Please be a bit open for our culture - i know its sometimes weird and difficult to understand that we don't care much about religion, tradition, family etc. - but...thats Germany :-) ⚠️Before you send me a request please read my profile incl. the couchsurfing groups at the end of my profile :-) Please check also my negative references. 1,02% of my guests didn't like me! So i am a bad guy sometimes 👹 ❗❗❗I DON'T HOST COUPLES ❗❗❗ 📌I DONT host you if you are... (1) ⛔️ ...a couple (i don't like this 5th wheel on the car thing) (2) ⛔️ ...a group or friends (3) ⛔️ ...internet addict/ sitting all time with cell phone, chatting etc. CURRENT MISSION Hosting & Meeting Funny, Chill, and Open-Minded People 😄🌍 ⚠️ Just a heads-up: I’m super straightforward, always speak my mind, and I don’t sugarcoat stuff. Not the diplomatic type at all. ⚠️ If anything in my profile makes you go “nah” or you’re not cool with one of my topics — no hard feelings, but I’m not your host. But if you’re vibin’ with it, then I promise you’ll have a blast here in Hannover! 😎 ⚠️ Don’t come at me with boring convos – I’m not here to save the world. I’m here to chill, host, and hang with fun people. Simple as that. ⚠️ I’m all about new cultures – but hey, be open to ours too, alright? Oh, and btw… I drink. 🍺🍺🍺 Cheers! 🟢 How I Roll as a Host COMMUNICATION is key – before you even get here 💻📱🗣 1️⃣ If I accept your request or send you an invite, I’d like us to actually talk before you arrive. It’s 2025 – no excuses. You’ve got phones, WhatsApp, Messenger, etc. If you ghost me for more than 48 hours, I’m out. 2️⃣ If I invite you and someone else hits me up while I’m waiting on your reply – sorry, it’s first come, first served. 🗣 While You’re Here – Let’s Keep It Real ⚠️ I like actually hanging out with my guests. If you're glued to your screen gaming 24/7 or can't stop scrolling, I'm not your guy. ⚠️ I’m outgoing, curious, love to chat, and yeah, I drink. If you’re all about deep talks only or don’t drink at all – totally cool, but we might not vibe. There are plenty of other awesome hosts in Hannover for you though! ⚠️ LAST THING: Please have something about yourself in your profile + at least one pic 📷. I don’t reply to blank profiles or “noname-noface” requests. Keep it real. PHILOSOPHY I host to meet people. If you just "nee a place to sleep"" then it's better to take a hostel.

I grew up in India amidst of all the chaos and colors the country has to offer. Since we lived in a small town I had to move all around the country for my studies. So I was lucky to make meet so many awesome people on the way So all my best friends are from different parts of India Afterwards, I moved to Germany for my PhD. Currently, I am working as a postdoctoral researcher (fancy term for struggling phase after doctorate;) and trying to figure out why antidepressants work on some patients whereas others are nonresponsive to the treatment. Apart from Science, I absolutely love plants and have more than 100 plants in my apartment. I hate writing about myself but I can say that I like being amidst nature and enjoy life one day at a time. Let's just say My happy place is when people accept each other irrespective of inherent differences and enjoy the uncertainty life come with.

CURRENT MISSION Discover the world by bike At the end of June 2024, I returned from a year-long bicycle trip around the world that took me to 26 countries on 6 continents. I lived my big dream for a year and raised around 5000 € donations for the German Cancer Aid. My experiences on this tour were incredible and the support of the Couchsurfing community during the year on the road around the globe was overwhelming. Now it's time to give something back to the Couchsurfing community and I would be happy to welcome travelers from all over the world again to my home in my beautiful hometown of Hannover. Check out more about my epic world cycling trip on: https://www.instagram.com/vorwaerts.nach.weit/ ABOUT ME Hello folks, I'm Andreas, originally from lovely Hannover in Northern Germany. I think I am an open minded, curios, active and helpful guy, who loves to travel (preferably by bike), exploring new places and who likes to come in contact to people from all over the world. Being open-minded doesn't automatically mean that I want to engage in gay sex, thank you for understanding that, guys, I am STRAIGHT, no chance . Yes, I have to make it clear because I got messages like this in the past. I'm sure there's a lot else to tell about me- but most of the stuff you have to find out yourself. ; ) When I come to your place, it's not because I want to stay for free. Its because I truly want to meet you, because I read your profile and think that we can have a good time together and it would be great if I could share a part of your life for a little while. PLEASE ONLY SEND ME A REQUEST AFTER YOU HAVE READ MY PROFILE CAREFULLY (especially the page "my home") ! CLEAR EXPECTATIONS OF HOST AND COUCHSURFER PREVENT MISUNDERSTANDING! I don't host people who are not hosts also, who only want to be guests. If you are sort of person who has like 20-30 of references on guest side, or even more, and you are not able be a host for couchsurfers in your hometown, you dont need to message me. If you want to stay at me with a friend: please send me a link to his cs-profile. Because I got so many requests in the last time: wont answer someone who don't show me, that he accepts my house rules (see page "my home"), any "copy and paste" requests without mentioning my name or any request to host someone without a Couchsurfing profile. Sorry - no cs-profile, no couch. Please, if I accept to host you, I will also expect that you will host me in your town, if I will be traveling there, so please, if that is ok for you, start your request with sentence "I can host you also" and include also my keyword (see page "my home"), so that I can see that you accept my house rules. If you dont start your request like that, I would not respond you, unfortunately. Due to bad experiences in the past I do NOT offer access to my private Wi-Fi. https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/2579833/profile/legacy I care for my couchsurfers. I'm not a free hostel, I want to hang out with you, show you what there is to see in my hometown and teach you what I know. And, you have to teach me something too! About yourself, about life, the universe, your culture, your language (maybe I already know one word), your country, how to cook your favorite dish,... I'm eager to know! PHILOSOPHY "Do, wat Du wullt, de Lüüd snackt doch!" (Low German proverb, meaning: make your own way, no matter what the others think) "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country!" (John F. Kennedy) "If you can dream it, you can do it." (Walt Disney)
