About Me

ABOUT ME

I would say, I am a very open-minded and especially spontaneous guy, who likes to meet new people and always try to get to know them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not much yet. My former girl friend used CS a lot while travelling across Europe, so we also had some people in our place. Then, I haven't used it for a while, but got back on the right path when I couldn't travel and thought I need to get know other people and perspectives. Since then I am quite busy and only used CS ones for myself on the US, Great experience thanks to Greg, and now I am on my first vacation after 1 1/2 years and would like to make the most of this time by getting to know new people and perspectives.

Interests

I like to be outside, when the sun is shining. Beach volleyball, inline-skating, just meeting w/ friends for a cold beer. Over the last couple of years, I also started to enjoy concerts (pop and classical music) and visits in theaters.
Actually, I like so many things, but, this is important, if it is spontaneous it is much more fun anyway.

Music, Movies, and Books

To be honest. I listen to various kinds of music. It very much depends on my mood. Very relaxing chill-out music, to alternative, to party music, back to a classic concert. Everything.
Same is true for movies, although I am currently enjoying it more to watch various kinds of shows and not the 2h movies in theatre.
I do not like to read books in my ordinary environment, since it would distract me too much. THis is something I do at vacations, because i can completely get lost in books and there is not much sleep until I finish one. Not very good for your ordinary schedule. ;) Nevertheless, it's mostly thriller or somehting similar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are quite a lot cool things I have seen. Currently, I would say, it was very tough to experience 2 weeks of India, travelling around with sleeper trains and friends and then to fly directly to Las Vegas for work on labour day. Largest culture shock ever.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't think that math and programming really counts 😁, but I think there is mich to share, teach and learn from one another.
