About Me

I want to further develop myself by traveling and discovering the worldculture. I enjoy meeting new people and experience new places.
I plan to go every month on a citytrip in Europe and discover it bit by bit. For me it's all about the people. Experience new culture, make friends and expand my horizon.

My nickname is Mr. Positivo and I will let you discover why that is...

Peace and love!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

By couchsurfing I get the chance to meet new, authentic people who will teach me more about their habits and culture. Exchanging stories and learning new things, that's what life is about. Meeting open-minded people with similar interests makes life one hell of a nice ride. :)

Interests

At the moment I'm really working on my public speaking skills. I really enjoy reading books about the human nature and I love dealing with people. This is also why I love Couchsurfing. I would really love to help people get beter along by showing them some fundamental principles when interacting with other people. They should teach this stuff at school. Being able to communicate is so important... By couchsurfing I get the chance to further improve my communication skills and I want to thank you for that.
I also think that every healthy mind should be fitted in a healthy body. Therefore I enjoy playing basketball, going for a run or a swim and lifting some weights. I am always ready to do some sporty activity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit my full-time day job, started to pursue my dreams and chose for a career change. The liberating feeling of doing what I love and pursuing happiness and my dreams.

Teach, Learn, Share

My fortes are my ability to deal with people. If you are starting a company, want to do it in the future, I used to work as a consultant so I could also help you with that. Oh and last but not least I can entertain you and make you smile as I really enjoy sharing stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my good mood, a tasty meal and some amazing stories :)
