Hi, I am Ilja.
I'm addicted to traveling and to being in nature. Cycling or hiking are my usual go to's. I am a big fan of cake and eiscafe, but hey who doesn't like desert? My friends have made fun of me for apprarently fitting the stereotype of an organised and serious german. Although I don't entirely aggree on that. In general I consider myself to be open minded and maby even a bit goofy. If you ever find yourself in or around Bonn, feel free to leave me a note. It would be my pleasure to hang out and/or host you. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like most on this lovely website I am a big fan of traveling and use every chance I get to do just that. It doesnt matter what season, what time of the day or how the weather is like. If I suddenly spark an interest to go somewhere I will go there. In summer I love to do big camping roadtrips through Europe with my best friends and in Winter I find myself pursuing cold weather and snow . On the way I am always happy to find new experiences and meet lovely new people. Since I may be a bit shy at first I think traveling really enables me to interact with people I usually might not have. And I think Couchsurfing could be the perfect place for me to expand on that notion.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big fan of melodic electronic music. I guess that's a kind of vague definition. But basically anything that feels relaxing but still has enough movement to be motivating and exciting. I don't watch that many movies or reads so many books anymore.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wildcamping in southern scandinavia with my best friends in terribly rainy and cold weather. But still the best trip I ever made. Swimming in lakes, cooking in the tent, scouting for a campsite and hearing the owls at night. Time of my life. :D

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, I love sharing in general. I can offer you a place to sleep if you are intrested, or maby even give you a quick tour of my city if I have some time. Either way I am always happy to help out.
