Describing yourself is always difficult and so here is what a few friends of mine said. I'm obviously using aliases to cloak their identity and preserve their privacy. One is German, sue me.

Martin Luther: "Hendrik ist ein intelligenter junger Mann, der dir stets ehrlich und offen gegenübertritt und mit dem man sich sowohl niveauvoll über ernste Dinge des Lebens, sowie auch über den größten Schwachsinn des Universums unterhalten kann, und dabei stets viel Spaß hat."

Abraham Lincoln:"Half sloth, half monkey."

Genghis Khan:"Hendrik's always been pleasant to talk to, smart and curious. If a topic or activity catches his attention, then his dedication to excel in that is admirable."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Survived the road to hana and back with a shitty jeep and five people in the car. That felt like quite the accomplishment.

Teach, Learn, Share

I started getting into bouldering in 2018 and absolutely love it. After climbing for a bit, it starts to be a really good mental exercise in addition to the physical strength one develops.

If you're into bouldering or would like to be, I enjoy introducing people to the sport or learn something from seasoned veterans :-).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good spots to relax especially during the summer as Leipzig has a host of beautfiul seas.

A top-notch bike to get around town and to the lakes easily.

Conversation about almost anything, from rambling about hypotheticals to intelectual topics. I'm open minded and enjoy getting to know new concepts and points of view.
