Hello world! Great you are here! My friends on the road know me as globetrotting Tom, I’m humorous, social and love to listen to new stories!

Here’s a summary:

👂🏿 Quiet listener with sense of humor
🍏 Both humor and profoundness is important to me
🌏 I traveled the world, have been to 5 continents the last 20 years. I learnt to be easygoing and not to prejudge others. I love to hear stories from their point of view
🏋️🧗🏻‍♂️🏊🏼‍♂️ always trying to learn from my mistakes and to improve myself

I'm European and my native language is German, but because I’m interested in languages I can understand and speak a few words in a lot of languages of countries I have been to

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

📚 I started to use couchsurfing as an experienced globetrotter wanting to find ways to socialize with different people in different places. Meanwhile because of the changing situation I more use it as a way to learn from others

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Traveling along the Indian Ocean and the Pacific. Taking the night bus from Malawi to Tansania. African sunburn in Zanzibar. Green tea. Black tea. Milk tea. Italian coffee. Chilled white wine. Ice cold water after a long hike in high mountains. Art museums with unusual ideas in Africa, North America, Australasia and Europe.

Fun fact: In dozens of countries I traveled without delays ... only time I missed my train was in Ljubljana, Kuala Lumpur and Gwalior/India ...

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

⏰ a good time for sure! I’m not trying to plan too much ahead. Tell me if something comes up and I see what I can do.

😀 Note: I'm not into checking profiles too much honestly, I don’t think a digital profile can really portray a person (neither does mine really, cause most of my male and female friends of different age or background are not on CS). I believe in meeting people personally and have great conversations. I’m ready to give it a try!
