Overview
About Me
Buenasss!
In my 20s I have used CS a lot to travel the world, especially on my hitchhiking trip to India from Europe, which has served me well to meet new people and find hosts all around the world. Now I am settling down in the most beautiful city of Germany which is Leipzig. It's been a while since I've used Couchsurfing and I'm curious who I will meet through this network.
I just moved into a house in Lindenau and I'm currently in the process of making it really nice here.
In case you are good with painting, or handicraft skills, there would be some projects for you to work on at my house :).
I'm currently working from Mo-Thu as a software engineer, so generally hosting would work best Fr-Su, but it could also work during the week.
Circus:
I am a flow artist. Once upon a time in November 2012 I started to discover contact juggling as a hobby in Australia. After four months of trying in parks and some youtube tutorials later, I decided to busk in the streets of Byron Bay. While busking was way more fun than my boring office job, I bailed out of my office job and just did street performances for two years, lived at a circus school in Thailand and Cambodia and completely mastered the art of juggling the sphere.
The persona that I became while doing this sort of juggling feels like a wizard, which is why my artistic name has become the flow wizard. You can see some of my work on my instagram profile: https://instagram.com/theflowwizard
Music:
I'm a guitarist and a pianist. I love to have musical evenings and play music together.
Every Thursday, there's an open mic place next to my home where I often go to hang out and play some songs.
In case you are a musician too I would be also very happy to hear your sound. There's an e-piano at my home and I have a great concert guitar here.
Sport:
I love to workout regularly and train both strengths and durability. I usually go once a week to crossfit, play squash and train swimming in a swimming club. I'm curious about cycling and start with triathlon as well.
In summer I also love to go wakeboarding. There's a cable car 10 minutes away from my home in one of the cleanest lakes in all Germany.
Software:
Ever since I was a kid I was curious about computers. Since my older brother taught me a lot about it I started studying programming and worked in many startups up until now.
I founded a social network for hitchhiking where people can callcalled the hitchlog: http://hitchlog.com

Hitchhiking:
In my 20s I have discovered hitchhiking as an adventurous, cheap and interesting way to travel around Europe. After my first trips, it became a passion of it's own and we started to organise hitchhiking races and eventually I hitchhiked to the south of Iran during my world trip. Now I don't hitchhike so much anymore and I own a campervan, but it used to be part of my life.
