I'm a German student in Theology, Ancient Near Eastern Studies and Ancient Greek and am currently studying at the University of Chicago.
I like to visit places new and foreign to me and while I mostly look for remote places and the wilderness, I also enjoy visiting bigger cities from time to time.
I have a weakness for old rubble and artifacts behind glass as well as long forgotten texts. Good conversation, a fun board game or a decent cheese make me happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am good with couches, less good with surfing, so I'm here to fix this and bring the two together. I made the experience that visiting a place is usually much more fun and interesting when You can get tips and hints from locals and I love to bring fun facts from different places to different, exciting people.
