I like to connect to other people while travelling, and see as much of the world with the resources I have.
I am uncomplicated as a guest, trying not to be a hassle and helping out where I can.
When visiting a country, I like to take my time and explore places more in-depth if possible (as opposed to visiting 10 countries in 2 weeks and checking off all the main attractions).
I am not at all religious - I prefer being happy with reality as it is. I really like the process of understanding how the world works, which appears a bit magical sometimes :)
At the same time, I highly value talking to people with different opinions and hearing them out, rather than just trying to "win" an argument in a conversation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Staying with locals always makes travelling a lasting experience. Especially in cities which seem huge and anonymous, one can feel lost sometimes. I have only surfed a few times until now, but everytime the experience was priceless, and I have been overwhelmed with the hospitality of the hosts.
I want to give back some of that kindness, but in my current flat I am not able to host others. I am looking forward to doing so when my situation allows it. This exchange is what the platform is about after all.

Interests

I am studying computer science in Ulm, Germany. I'm into Surfing and Ultimate Frisbee, I play the Cello.
Sometimes, I like to geek out over a specific topic for a few days/weeks, but I tend to forget most of what I learned afterwards. I still know roughly how to get to mars though.
And I like to catch some waves whenever possible - we don't have many in southern Germany ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I mostly listen to jazzy/groovy/electronic music (e.g. fender rhodes style), but I can enjoy a wide range of different genres (spotify:user:1164978796).
There is one podcast I regularly listen to, which is Hello Internet (Hi to my fellow Tims).
I love movies where there is some plot twist in the end. Fight Club is a movie I must have watched literally a dozen times!
I am not much of a reader but the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is one of my all time favorites, along with "Der Schwarm" and "Limit" by the great german author Frank Schätzing.
