Hi, my name is Daniel. I have recently quit my Job in Freiburg where I worked for seven years as a Statistician analyzing clinical trials. I decided to have a longer break between jobs to travel, learn about other cultures, meet new people and make some good memories along the way. I am pretty easy going and open minded. Into good conversations. Love to discover new music or showing my favorite bands and songs. I think music is one of the best ways of getting to know another person.
Interested in Books & Literature
Interested in Concerts
Fluent in German
Learning Spanish
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I want to meet other people, especially locals, but also other travellers. I dont want to do the stereotype tourist things like sightseeing etc. without having any contact to the people who live in the region.
