About Me

CURRENT MISSION FOR MYSELF:

I am working as a freelance communication designer, photographer and just started studying again. I love my huge crazy family having around me and I enjoy being with friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I never organized my stays in advance via couchsurfing. I slept on many couches but they belonged to people I met while travelling. Only a few of them are using this website.

The city I lived in before wasn't touristic, so I didn't have couchaurfers around. I just moved to Hamburg and now I have a a big room, a nice couch and a hammock. We also have a guest room. Also you could message me if you want to grab a beer somewhere and talk – given that I have spare time.

Interests

Travelling, camping, playing board games, watching movies, havin a beer or two, meet up with friends, partying sometimes...Yoga, hiking and cycling.

I play the acoustic guitar a bit and I always wanted to learn how to play the blues harp - maybe you can teach me?!
