I'm a traveller from Germany, coming to Australia and maybe some surrounding countries to learn how to surf, improve my language skills, find inspirations, have unknown meetings to get well-known friends afterwards. I'm a rather active person who's very delight in things like skateboarding, but i like it as much to sit down with friends, play some tunes on the guitar and have comfortable hours together.
Interested in Adventure Sports
Interested in Bars
Fluent in German
Learning English
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I'm coming to Australia as a generic backpacker, so of course i'm looking for a low-budget place to stay... but i also think couchsurfing is a nice way to meet people from all over the world and have experiences you'd never have if you sleep in hostels or hotels.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Jump out of a plane to skydive above Gran Canaria, and after the free-fall-section the leash of the parachute is ripping off... puuh :D ... but i'm still alive.
Teach, Learn, Share
Cooking, play guitar, talk about anything and everything, so I do a bit of all. Anyone who wants to improve their German I'm happy to help out, and if you could help me with my English too that would be splendid!
