Let me start with the most important things to know for possible hosts and guests: I am quite organized, I like to help with household and cleaning the dishes after meals and I like to hang out with you if you have time, and if not, I am also fine with that. I would love to prepare a dinner or lunch for you, but I obviously accept if you don't want Couchsurfers to use the kitchen. I am not really a party guy, I prefer quieter, more relaxed environments and not going to bed too late. I prefer board games over video games, hanging out in a park with friends over going to the pub or club, and having in-person conversations over chatting on the phone. What follows now is stuff about myself that is not absolutely necessary for you to know as a host nor guest, but you can read it if you are curious about who I am. I honestly don't like traveling. I like experiencing culture, I like to spend time in different places, but I prefer to be a person temporarily living in a new place rather than a tourist. I don't enjoy the speed of life that comes with being a tourist. I don't want my travelling experiences to be exhausting, or at least not more exhausting than living a normal life at home would be. When traveling, I want to keep the normal, healthy day to day pace that the people have that live in the place where I am traveling to. I prefer to see myself as a citizen of the world rather than Germany. I don't say that because I have traveled a lot, I haven't, or to sound dramatic, but because I think too strong identities toward the country (or region) you were born in might create division. Culture is of course influencing people's lives, I just think the fact that I grew up on this planet has a way bigger influence on my life than the fact that I grew up in Germany. One thing I don't like is when people spend too much time on their phone when they are with you. It's not possible to have a conversation. Checking your phone every now and then is ok, but I think it's impossible to have a normal conversation when people don't give each other their undivided attention. So you can expect my undivided attention when I am with you :].

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
The thing I like most about Couchsurfing is that it gives you the ability to meet local people living in the area you are traveling in. It turns you into a temporary local, which has the effect of giving you a realistic picture what life in these places might look like on a day to day basis.
Music, Movies, and Books
Animal farm by George Orwell. To the point and very thought-provoking.
Teach, Learn, Share
My most useful skill is probably mathematics, so if you or somebody in your family needs some help, don't hesitate to ask me.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Time, Food, Company (if interested). Helping them in their day to day life.
