German guy who likes to travel the world. My travels have so far mostly led me to "western" countries but I am planning a big "eastern" trip to Nepal and India in 2017/18. I am excited to meet new people and to find new friends...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get to know locals and to immerse into the "true and real life" of the places that I am visiting. I am interested in learning about the local culture from first hand.
