About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Couchsurfing Ambassador

Instagram: Kinosal42

I’m not planning weeks ahead, so you have better chances of being hosted when you request just two or three days before you come.
I have one rule for staying at my place: you can be there when I am, too. When I’m working (Mo-Fri) you have to leave with me at around 9 a.m.

I DO NOT host impersonal copy-and-paste-texters and non-profile-readers, CS is about being interested in the host as well and sharing each other’s good sides of life. I’m not a hotel free of charge!
You can write me in German, English, Spanish, French and even a little in Portuguese and Italian, I might understand. If you’re e.g. Spanish and write me in English I’ll know you haven’t read my profile.

REQUEST: Please write ‘VIVA COLONIA’ and I’ll know you’ve read this.

Introduce Surfers to Cologne -> Please have a look at my couch photos.

ABOUT ME

I don’t really like copy/paste stuff, although sometimes I know it can be difficult. But I host a lot and your chances are higher if you have a concrete reason why you’re asking me. And I don’t accept messages, send me a proper surf request, please. If you’re new to this, familiarize yourself with the system first. Especially when you’re native French or Spanish or Portuguese and write me in English anyway I know that you haven’t even looked at my profile since I understand those languages.

Movie maniac and passionate cameraman, always in for getting to know new, cool people and doing some magic tricks.

PHILOSOPHY

Only what you can't buy with money is truly worth having! (Money has no worth, just a use)

9x6=42 (Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy). Don't try to understand the world, just try to deal with it!

Pain is temporary, film's forever! (Peter Jackson)
