Hey there!

My Name is Jan, 28 y.o. living in Düsseldorf, Germany

In the last years, I learned so much from different people that I don't want to stop meeting new people, see new perspectives on life and just have cool days/evenings!

And no, I don't have Lederhosen, that's a Bavaria Thing

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I appreciate every conversation i hold. Every sentence gives you an understanding of the other person and how they feel. This is a very valuable insight for me.

I use Couchsurfing to find as many good conversations as possible.
From around the world, people are different and i want to travel the world via conversation with its inhabitants.

Learning is a process which (should) not stop after school/university. I want to learn about the world, different cultures, different political and Religion opinions/views and the different values from the different cultures. I want to see what is appreciated in your country and how you deal with different things.
