Hi there!
My name is Julian (23) and I'm currently studying Music Business at the Popakademie in Mannheim.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Collect moments, not things.

I really appreciate spending time with different people. That's the reason why Couchsurfing seems to be a very nice way to find places to stay for a night and to experience a certain kind of "retro-lifestyle-traveling" (that's how I would call it). Back to the roots. Take it easy. Home is where your heart is.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2015/16 I wanted to discover a single country by hiking parts of a long distance trail. For this reason I decided to spent some time in New Zealand to try the "Te Araroa" (3000km). It took me about seven months to walk 1000km (45 days); I met more than 150 people by hitchhiking and learned to love the beauty of nature and the values of different cultures in the home of Kiwi. It was the time of my life!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach? - I can play four instruments (Bass, Guitar, Piano, Drums), so feel free to ask me if I could introduce you into different types and styles of music.

Learn? - I would love to be a magician, can you help me? ;-)

Share? - Ideas, Points of view, Experiences, Dreams

What I Can Share with Hosts

I could show you some interesting or even special parts of Mannheim (recommend to visit in summer!).
