I grew up in the country side in the South of Germany - Franconia to be exact. The worldwide highest density of breweries worldwide made my love for beer prosper. During my studies I worked for the IAESTE exchange organisation which made me appreciate a culturally diverse environment. Now I live in the North of Germany in Hamburg. I prefer the city life over the country side life, but I still need my healthy dose of nature frequently.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to exchange ideas and views with international people. It is nice to get to see differnt ways of and attitudes towards life. Teach and learn about life. It helps me to shape my own values and goals.

Interests

I love music. I have a vinyl record collection and I go to concerts a lot.
Recently got into yoga and enjoy it very much. Personal values and believes, some kind of personal development, are also important for me.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music interests include Jazz, Funk, Soul, Brazilian, Electronica, african stuff, HipHop, some Rock and some inbetween.
City of God and Angel Heart are probably my all time favourite movies. Other than that the usual classics (Pulp Fiction, Fear and Loathing ..., The Godfather I and II, etc.).
When I was young, The Godfather (Mario Puzo) was my favourite book. Recently I got into some Hemingway. I like to read autobiographies.

What I Can Share with Hosts
