Hello there!

I´m Martin, born and raised up in Munich, but currently studying music at the University of Music in Würzburg (a city located in the north of Bavaria); nevertheless I spend most of my days off in Munich.
Eventhough I have spend all my life living here in Germany so far, I still have the Croatian nationality, and I am frequently visiting my family in the country of my origins (and the other states of former Yugoslavia).
This, and the fact that I usually switch between different cities, is probably the reason for my urge to discover different places, and get to know various people from all over the world.
Moreover I would describe myself as an openminded, kind and from time to time, playful person with an affinity for all things creative and unconventional.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel the world and experience each country as authentical as possible.
Furthermore I want to get to know new and interesting, openminded people from different parts of the world, and various cultures, in order to spend a good time with them, but as well to learn and share with and from them.
The places I discover, the amazing facts about the cultures I get to learn while traveling, the nature I get to explore and the people I get to know make up a vast source of inspiration and are truly important to me.
