I'm curious, usually in a humorous mood and easy to handle. I like to travel, get lost in new places and sneak around the parts that you cannot find on the first page of a travel guide. I'm always happy to sit down, have a beer and get to know people, learn about their culture and history. I usually have my camera and a notebook with me and in most cases I don't need much more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've met a lot of great people through CS and it fits to my idea of traveling. I prefer to get to know a place with a local rather than with a guide. I love to share my place, things and stories with other people. Traveling shouldn't be a privilege of the rich.

Interests

Any kind of outdoor activity (hiking, swimming, biking and so on), books that don't leave you when you close them, making music with other people, waking up by the sun, photography and writing.
