Hello everyone, I am Manuel and I have just startet my studies last summer. When I was working (before being a student), I never really took the time to travel abroad. From now on, I am starting to just pack my backpack and go wherever I want to go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I don't want to explore a place in a touristic way. I rather want to really learn about different cultures by talking to the local people an getting connected to them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sleeping in a selfmade Igloo in the mountains.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think it is one of the most important to keep on learning. As an open minded and positive person I like to learn things from other people and teach them things I am keen on.

What I Can Share with Hosts

For me it is all about spending a good time together. It is nice to hang out and exchange stories with a beer or a glass of good wine. Nevertheless, I am also independent, so no one has to give me 24 h attention per day :-)

Because my passion is photography, I send every host a black and white picture (analog photography) showing a special moment. Of course this is optional and only if wanted.
