Hello everybody!
My name is daniel and I am a 24 year old med. Student from Germany doing an internship in Pune. I like meeting new people from all over the world, but I am especially fascinated by India and its diversity. That's why I decided to come to India after I already traveled to Northern India 3 years ago.

I will stay in Pune until July and therefore hope to meet someone, who shows me around and teaches me one or two things about the city or the country.

I like football, movies, good conversations, nature, going out, history & politics and indian food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of a world without borders, a world where every person can decide where he or she wants to go or wants to stay. Couchsurfing is an important step into the right direction - a platform that connects people and helps them to find a place to stay, to make friends or simply having a good start in a new city.

Interests

• indian food
• history
• football
• meeting people
• going out

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to many different kinds of music.
While my parents raised me with Music from Americas 60s and 70s my older brother quickly introduced me to HipHop music. Since I was 10 years old I was listening to American 90s and 2000s HipHop.
HipHop showed me a lot about Soul and Funk music later on.
When I was a teenager I discovered Reggae music and jamaican dancehall.
Because Germany is a country of Electronic Music, of course I got to love Techno and Electro aswell,
every year I visit about 4 different Music festivals in Germany that offer Techno or Goa Music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Of course there were great experiences in my life like Paragliding in the Himalaya mountains, Surfing in Australia, Riding a motorbike on the Ho-Chi-Minh Track in Vietnam or sleeping in a tabacco drying house in Cubas countryside.
But most important was the lesson live tought me in general.
My family is spread all over the world, I have relatives in almost every corner of the planet, which really helped me out when it came to traveling in my early days. My parents would always take me to another country and another place.
I got to know many different cultures and religions and therefore believe that there are a lot more things that unite us rather than dividing us. I believe in humanity and that we are all equal, no matter who we are or what we believe.
This knowledge is probably the best experience you can make.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am very interested in sociology, psychiology, history, politics, economics, religion and many other topics.
I always like to meet people and let them show me their point of view and their unique perspecitve on society and this incredible world we are living in.
I am reading a lot and have also seen a lot of things with my own eyes to share a lot of stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Gratitude, knowledge, friendship, humor, discussions , stories and tales about almost everything
