I'm a scientist in my 40s and love hiking and running. Being out in nature and exploring landmarks or interesting places is one of my favorite activities.

I enjoy talking to people and hearing their stories while sharing mine. While I have my own opinions on just about anything I think I'm tolerant and curious about other perspectives.

My work now is with electronics for science labs, so I also enjoy taking thing apart, finding out how stuff works and especially the occasional tear down after which the thing just can't be put back together 😎

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting people, hearing about their stories and making new friends. Happy to show people around, share what I know and also discover things I have not found so far.

I have a pretty eclectic music taste and am always interested in adding to the long list of styles and bands I like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Complete ultramarathons

Teach, Learn, Share

My strengths are with science, tech, math, so those area areas I can offer some insight. If you're learning German I can help you out as I am a native speaker.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am happy to help with stuff like moving things or fixing broken stuff - assuming you know what to do 😉
If you're comfortable with me being in your kitchen I'm happy to be your sous chef or cook you a meal.
If everything else fails I can always get takeout and some wine or beer to show my gratitude.
