I am a German-American student studying mechanical engineering in Aachen, Germany. I enjoy experiencing the world when I travel, as opposed to just seeing it. I try my best to be open-minded, but do stand firm in some basic beliefs. Consequently, I do enjoy open discussions about different perspectives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for a temporary solution to find a place to stay for an Erasmus semester in Delft.
I'm surfing for the first time, but perhaps will also open my doors back in Aachen after my exchange.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music that carries a message, be it in the notes or in the lyrics. But I also enjoy anything with a good or catchy rhythm.
I enjoy reading books when I have the time... but often spend months on one book, unless it is hopelessly compelling, forcing me to drop everything else.
Movies are great! Either to reflect, enjoy, or relax.... I do love a good action flick.

Cycled from Aachen, Germany to Durham, England with a friend with nothing but a backpack and a road bike. 800km though Belgium on the way there, and through the Netherlands on the way back. Ride time - 7 Days, with one week of exploring northern England with a friends visited in Durham.
