Hey, I'm Jakob & currently based in Mannheim, Germany, where I'm studying pop music production. As you can imagine, my whole life is pretty much centered around music - whether it's listening, playing, composing or producing music.

Being in my first year of university I don't have much time to do anything else - but when I do, I love cooking with friends, watching good movies, reading good books or going for a run at the river nearby.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I plan to travel a lot in the future to learn about different people, different cultures and finally about myself and what I want to accomplish in this world.

Interests

Besides music I've grown a passion for photography over the years, so whenever I'm out exploring some new area, I take my camera with me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: way too much to write down. Genres I love listening to include (mainstream) pop, rock, funk, soul, hip hop, singer-songwriter, edm, alternative, electro, ambient and anything with a nice indie vibe to it.

Movies: Interstellar, Inception, Into The Wild, Whiplash, Once

Books: anything by Ken Follet

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always open to learn new things so whatever it is you can teach me, I'd love to try! I'm particularly not the best at learning new languages, so if you'd share some basic phrases in your native language with me that would be very much appreciated.

If you wanna learn any instrument or about music and songwriting in general there's a good chance I might be able to help you.
