ABOUT ME

Almost no one outside of Germany is able to pronounce my name correctly. It's okay.

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Right now I am more looking for couches than being able to offer one. But nevertheless, wherever I go I also try to give something. But don't get me wrong, you will see me hosting as soon as I got a chance.

I might have been surfing couches even before I heard of this site. At friends' places, friends of friends' and at some point even an overcrowded hostel. Couchsurfing is more than crashing on another person's couch; it is about spending time with amazing people and getting to know how they live.

Interests

Teach, Learn, Share

your random nugget of knowledge for the day: Adjust the headrest in your car. Or any other car you ride in. I'm serious. If you don't, a minor accident can lead to a major pain in the neck. Literally.
