Current mission: to learn the German language. Came to Germany do a master's degree. Started a job as an engineer in Heidelberg and started a new life. My job involves worldwide business travel, so I will be out of town from time to time.

Trade offer meme:

- I offer: Host you with free accommodation, food, drinks and typical stuff available at a home.

- I recieve: people that bring action to life. People that have meetings, social gatherings, a wingman to go and party or a cute girl to hang out with, events and stuff going on so that I can join :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The reasons has changed throught the years :)

In 2016, I was mostly backpacking through Europe. Discovered the CS project, used it to surf through couches, meeting locals, travelling, and loved it. (and saving money of course! ).

In 2017 to 2019, I started hosted in Bogota, Colombia, also in Lima, Peru, while I was also living with my family. Returning the karma by helping like-minded travellers.

In 2020-2022, I moved out to Deggendorf, Germany for a Master's degree. As an expat student, money was scarse, and shit went wrong with those dark covid years. I totally forgot about travelling, hosting and lost the CS spirit.

Now 2023. The rainbow after the rain. I landed a great job in Heidelberg. Good money, travel more classy, luxury hotels, fancy restaurants, and generally enjoy life again. However, making friends, and having social circles is now the current challenge. Besides work life, and my solo hobbies, nothing much is going on. That's where I hope CS comes in handy to solve that issue.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went out of my comfort zone and decided to do solo traveling in Europe for 3 months without any particular plans, just freedom to travel anywhere and discover new adventures each day. I visited 30+ cities in 7 countries in summer 2016!

I also have an amazing 100+ shot glass collection from the places I have been. This is my hobby. I can spend hours hitting souvenirs shops finding the right one.

Once I hitch-hiked from Moscow to St. Petersburg, not because I needed it or I didn't have any money, but for the sake of the adrenaline while doing it!

I have done Bungee Jumping and it was damn scary but awesome!

Teach, Learn, Share

Nothing is ever truly free. Everything is an exchange agreement. For example the hosting/being hosted agreement in CS, both parties obtain benefits in different forms:

For people the has been hosted hundreds of times without ever hosting, it's clear the economic savings benefits, among other services and favors.

For the people that has hosted hundreds without expecting to be hosted, their payment is the good feelings from either religious beliefs or doing philanthropy acts which fullfil their souls. They don't do it because they expect to be hosted in the future. They aren't accumulating anything to be used in the future. They recieve their benefits throught the duration of his surfer stay.

So, there are givers, and there are takers, and of course all the middle points in between. This is all fine, there's no perfect balance. Choose your sweet spot, and remember to fullfill the other partys need when writing a goddamn acommodation request letter. Most of your letters suck, and that's why I end up declining them all. I also learnt the hard way myself, became better at writing, and was accepted more often.
