Hej people,
I´m Domenik from Germany. I finished school last year and went straight into big city Berlin to do a pre-educational program in contemporary dance. Right now I am auditioning for several schools in Belgium, Netherlands and Germany to make my year long dream and passion of being a dancer come true. Besides this one big interest I´m also into other subjects like listening to music and also writing my own, I love arts, no seriously, not just to pretend to be cool because of my cultural interests;) e.g. Hieronymus Bosch and Van Gogh are two of my very favourite artists, also more contemporary people just like Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock and Performance Artist Marina Abramovic.
After all, just like almost everybody I like to travel, I would love to travel more, visit places I´ve never been before, meet people and talk to them and listen to what they have to say.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I mentioned before, I´m preparing my auditons for contemporary dance schools. That´s why I need from time to time, to stay in places for a couple of days. Also I´m doing or at least I´m willing to do a lot of workshops and classes in citys where I need to stay than, and it´s always nicer to have someone around, someone who knows the place better than me, maybe someone to have some nice talking with and make friends with.
During the upcoming summer I´m going to travel a bit through Europe and hope to stay with some nice people.
