+++ please read this first: love to host people, but Couchsurfing isn't meant to be a place for people who just don't want to pay for a hostel because they are on a party-trip to Köln. It's okay not to have references and an empty profile but then please tell me something about you and not just two sentences. +++ According to my friends I must be somewhere in between the sloth of Zootopia and Barney (Simpsons) ;) . Apart from that I am working in online marketing for a small company. I love adventures and travelling, mostly on a rather spontaneous notice without too much planning beforehand. I love to meet people from all over the world and give back some of the hospitality I once received.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
- have a great time staying with locals and learn about their culture, customs, favorite places and food - I want to give something back in the form of hospitality - get a pure experience without any commercial intention behind (meet people who host you because they want to and not because you pay them)
Music, Movies, and Books
Most of the times I am listening to Rap music à la Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Tupac, Nas or some German artists. When I am travelling I usually prefer chill reggae music. I also do like rock-music. My favorite movie is Django Unchained I guess. My favorite book is "kite runner" by Khaled Hosseini.
