Hey, I am Alex and I am from wonderful Berlin City. I am a curious guy who loves to explore new things, learn new abilities (I would like to learn dancing, surfing, playing better guitar and so much else....) and to make new friends.

I love music. I was playing in a Band (with my poor guitar skills) and have kind of a DJ project with my twin brother. I am always curious about hearing new music and discovering new artists (give me some suggestions, please!).
Having good conversations while drinking a good beer is essential and I can't resist having a good party from time to time (we have awesome parties in Berlin, you should check them out ;)
I also love being in nature and leave the city behind. I am passionate about beautiful landscapes and stunning forests or mountains.
For me it is also very important to have some time for myself, where I can get some rest from other people and get my mind focused again. But I am also a very social person that enjoys a good meal with friends, eating, drinking, talking and laughing. I love cooking, but my skills are not the best...

From October 2016 to March 2017 I am visiting Brasil (propably the reason I write you). I am doing a 3 month internship in Sao Jose dos Campos and I am very very excited and curious about the country and the people. I also really want to learn portuguese! Estou aprendendo, mas estou no início :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people, share cultural experiences, share stories and fun and of course to share my couch. In the flat I shared with two friends in Berlin, we regularly welcomed Couchsurfers from all over the world. Its a great thing and I only met awesome people there!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Night-diving at Sardegna. So wonderful, it felt like being in space.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am willing to share all the experiences that I learned throughout my life. That includes cooking (sorry, I don't know many typical german things, but I can try), interesting stories, musical taste, my laughter, a good time and (if needed) some technical knowledge :) I also would love to share my couch with you in Berlin or connect you to one of my friends if I am not around.
