I would love to see the world. There's so much more. On the other hand, I think we should travel in a responsible way. Unlimited flying is not okay, since the climate is heating. There are many tourists, we should think about that too. I think couchsurfing is a valuable travel experience, one we should appreciate. I want to know other people's cultures and beliefs. I believe that mutual understanding improves our lives on earth. Everyday I'm wondering how this world works and how to improve it. On the main time trying to take it not too seriously, because no one survives life.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I have never done couchsurfing before, but I love to meet new people from other cultures. I believe talking to locals and experiencing their lives is so much nicer than doing touristy stuff. Except for the museums, I love the museums too.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Lived in Berlin for 5 months, lived in South Africa for 6 months, travelled through Indonesia, Namibia and Botswana on my own and through Colombia with my best friend. Loved it all.
Teach, Learn, Share
I could invite you for a volleyball game and teach you some of the techniques. We could exchange our favorite music. And if you are into writing, I would love to hear your stories/about what you are writing.
My Interests
On Sundays I love to bike to one of the lakes nearby, laying down and listening to a good podcast until I fall asleep. On Saturdays I play volleyball and in the evening, I play board games that often end up in a drunken party. During the week, I try to improve our world and fight against climate change and unfair trade relations.
