I am an open-hearted guy, trying to give my best and enjoy my time on this astonishing planet. With everyone together. I had the luck to travel a lot in my life so I learned to respect and appreciate differences - even if we all have more in common than we might expect! I like to do engage in various kinds of activities and try to stay from spending my time too much in the internet - if you like and have spare time, we can go out, hike and explore, play a game of chess, or just stay at home and cook something together. By the way, I am vegetarian, but I don’t mind anybody to eat non-vegetarian food around me! Generally I am easily to comfort and probably won’t stress your hospitality.

Currently, I am studying my Masters in Sociology and Social Anthropology in the city of Münster (Germany). I am also working in University on Community- and Sustainability research. I really do like it, so better just ask me if interested ;) … just joking, but I like to talk about these matters. Especially ways of sustainable and social living connected to ecological farming or decolonial and feminist stuff.

I have no references on this account, but if you want to see some older ones, you could check out my other profile (it’s with my girlfriend, from our trips together - it’s some time ago, but I guess some of it is still part of me).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really learned to love this community in my past travels and I think engaging in initiatives like CS is one of the best ways to use our internet. I haven’t been doing it for quite a while, but I want to give it another try!

Now I am travelling Japan to finally visit a good friend of mine (student in Tokyo) and took some more time to enjoy Japans people, nature and culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking from Vietnam to Germany in 20 Months. Met all different kinds of people and got too much help and support. Thanks for everything.

Starting musical sessions outside. Somewhere in the sun. With random people. That became friends. Over and over again.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you love something, leave it free.

Please. Have compassion for another.
