Hey, I’m Julian – sometimes quiet and thoughtful, sometimes funny and a little crazy (depends on the vibe). I love good conversations, shared meals, dancing, and singing at the campfire.

Most of my adult life I dedicated to projects and communities for a better world – like co-creating a festival (Partycipation) and running a community center. When that ended, I took on €30k in debts, which I’m paying back step by step.

It taught me a lot and made me change direction: now, for the first time in my life, I have a regular job as a youth worker, and soon I’ll also start teaching at a free school.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Originally I joined mostly to host and connect with inspiring people.
Now I’m traveling to Cologne for a Tony Robbins seminar and I’d be happy to find a place to stay and share stories, ideas, or just good company.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Helped throw a festival for a “lovable future,” ran a community center, and then managed to survive the debts that came with it. Now I call it my crash course in community, courage, and creativity 😉
