About Me

I am from Berlin where I have lived most of my life. I also lived in Barcelona and San Francisco for some time. Those cities are awesome since folks from around the globe are always all over the place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My flatmates and me had a lot of surfers in Barcelona and it was always fun meeting people from different parts of the world!
There should be definetely a couch in my new flat wherever I am gonna be!
