ABOUT ME

Guten Tag, Hello, Bonjour & Buenos dias!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing & Hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had several great encouters via CouchSurfing!

Interests

In my leisure time I love doing sports, e.g. tennis, swimming and volleyball. If I lived nearer by the sea, I would like to sail, dive and surf more often..In winter I do skiing and snowboarding, which is sometimes even possible in my region.
I'm interested in music as well and I love going on concerts and festivals. I used to play piano, but forgot nearly evertything.. Besides I tried to teach myself playing guitar - without any striking success yet. I do not think it is worth to mention, but in order to avoid akward situations - I am gay.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 11th grade I took part in a progressive teaching project called High Seas High School, where young students navigate through the oceans on a traditional sailing ship for 7 months. Starting out from Germany we sailed via the Canary Islands and the Antilles to Costa Rica, Belize and Cuba and then back across the Atlantic Ocean to Hamburg. The students share responsibility for running the ship, live in a close–knit community together with the crew and teaching staff, have their school lessons on board and take part in land based excursions through Costa Rica, Belize and Cuba.

Awesome gap year after school travelling South America!
Climbing the Kilimanjaro!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you some German and show you that Germany is more than Bavaria and the Oktoberfest. I'm average in cooking and baking, but I learn fast and I like tasting new things!
Besides, I'm always carrying my fantastic collection of parlor games with me because "You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.” :)
