Member since 2009
I am an engineer, working for the Berlin administration. Car-free streets and squares, more space for cyclists and pedestrians and bringing more green areas into the living quarters of Berlin is basically what I do these days… Before I was a traveling photographer, giving me the chance of visiting some of the most beautiful places on earth. Oh and also I used to work as a tour guide in Berlin a couple of years ago. Which I liked mostly because I'm very interested in city-development, urban transport and architecture, especially modern buildings. Philosophy "the early worm is caught by the bird" (a very common German saying, just a little mingled and twisted so that it fits better to my personal philosophy)
Interested in Adventure Sports
Fluent in German

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I started hosting and surfing in 2009 and I met the greatest people on this platform - as my hosts, as my guests or on events. I can really say that couchsurfing changed me and has made my life much better. For me it is the coolest way of meeting people, no matter if you are at home or on the road. For instance without couchsurfing I would have had to go on several road trips alone, but instead I just found others to join me. I really like that!

One Amazing Thing I've Done

My Interests
Well, in addition to the above mentioned interests I love architecture, taking photos, reading novels and seeing movies. But as you can see it's basically sports. And cooking...
