Curious, a bit introverted, rather silent than loud. I like the company of other people as well as being alone (with music, books, art galleries, nature...). Although believing to be quite open-minded (as everybody here), I think I'm also narrow-minded and media-manipulated in any way. Hope that personal CS contacts will overcome prejudices.

As a host I'd like to try making your stay in Hamburg a nice one. If desired I'll be happy to give you advice where to go/what to do in Hamburg and maybe show you some sights and/or places I like.

I live alone, work full time and have a lot of activities in the leisure time, so it might happen that I don't have much time for you.

Please have a look to the "My Home" section, I'd be happy if you read and understand what I write.

As a guest I'm undemanding, uncomplicated and able to act independently/autonomous (of course I'd be happy for any advice and maybe showing me around :-) )

If you are mostly interested in soccer, pubs, parties and drinking, we probably wouldn't have much to talk about and maybe not matching very good then :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of hospitality and intercultural exchange. Would be fine, if I could improve my english, don't use it often. I am here to get inspired, make friends.

Looking forward to meet amazing people through CS :-)
