ABOUT ME

Hi, i'm Philipp, I'm living in Leipzig since 2010. I studied here the MA in Journalism, and I'm working as a Journalist now. I do live together with my girlfriend and my daughter (born in december 2018). And for us it was important that we have a guestroom in our new flat, so that we can we can host guests (our friends, of course, and people from all over the world!) :)
I like good food, I like to eat it, love to do, watch and talk about sport. And, of course, I like to talk with people about nearly everything, but that's only possible in english at the moment. I tried to learn other languages, but I failed so far. But my girlfriend speaks spanish fluently!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wasn't on couchsurfing very often in the last few years (for several reasons.) But I want to change it next time. And we want to host more people (what was not possible in the last years). Especially from 2007-2010 (before our time in Leipzig) we did a few times couchsurfing - but that was not here, it was on hospitalityclub.
