A German with a serious case of travel addiction. I'm open minded, I love to meet new people and discuss anything and everything with them, learning about their culture, their languages... I'm currently studying European Studies and Languages in Scotland. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think I've said it a few times already, I like meeting new people. A place always looks different from a local perspective and I like to see beyond the "touristic views" and really get too know the city or area and try to get a feeling for how it is to actually live there.

Interests

As I already said, traveling and meeting new people (strangers are just friends you haven't met yet...) I like reading and doing different sports like swimming, diving, track and field, climbing and skiing. I love to cook and I always try to learn new recipes from the countries I travel to. I also like to try new and crazy things.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share my culture with other people and teach them some German. In exchange I want to learn everything about your country and culture and maybe you can teach me some words in your language. I also enjoy discussing pretty much anything and love a good conversation (and a glass of wine with that doesn't do any harm)
