My name is Jakob Donath, I am 22 years old from Bavaria, Germany. Three years ago I moved to Vienna as I got a place to study Medicine there. Although I enjoy Vienna and and my studies a lot I decided to take a break in order to pursue other things. After one year I will continue my educational journey. The first big plan is to travel from Vancouver Canada all the way south to Costa Rica with my girlfriend Johanna. After that, lets see..... :)

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
During my EVS (European Voluntary Service) I used couchsurfing quite a lot (As Guest and as host) and I only made positive experiences. After that I didnt really have the time nor the energy to spend so I stopped using couchsurfing for the last 3 years. But now, in my free year, I want to get back in doing so and use it a lot during my( or in that case ours) big journey. I really like the concept, a concept that is in my opinion quite unique in the modern world. It allows you to travel in a very affordable and non touristic way which, for me at least, is the perfect way to experience a new culture.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
huch -
Teach, Learn, Share
One of the things I like most about Couchsurfing is the cultural exchange that is happing as you spend your time with people from other countries. Also I love to hear stories about traveling and the experiences people made there. I have made a lot of positive experiences by couchsurfing (mostly surfing though).
What I Can Share With Hosts
If you decide to host me and decide that you will spend time with my i would love to bring some food and to have dinner with you :)
My Interests
I am interested in a lot of things but I'd say that my biggest interest are human-beings. What is more interesting that human nature (what do they want, what makes them happy, what sad, what are their stories etc.) ? I enjoy that the most while having a hot coffe or a cold beer in a very comfortable surrounding.
