Hey, my name is Joseph. Last year I completed my Bachelor of philosophy in Leipzig, Germany. Currently I am applying for Science, Technology and Society Master Programmes.

I am very open minded and would love to connect with new people, but of course I also respect privacy and really don't have any high expectations as long as I get a roof above my head. I'd love to do something together with the person I am staying with.

I am a member in a chess club, I love long distance running and I am in an associtation which promotes healthy media use for children and teens.

I am interested in how technologies shape the way we understand ourselves and organize society.
In particular, I am interested in digital media and their regulation, artificial intelligence, wearable technologies, and environmental sensing such as air-pollution monitoring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's a great way to connect with people from different cultures and backgrounds.
I am new to the platform, but I heard a lot of good things from my friends about couchsurfing!
