About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get to know new people and gain knowledge as much as possible. I just love life.

ABOUT ME

I just moved to Cologne after finishing my PhD in Osnabrück the last few years. Originially, I'm from Berlin and hosted there quite a few times. I love to go out and have a drink and dance. Also, I like watching football games and listen, play and DJ music.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to feel life and most of it all I want to understand everything

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Please keep in mind, that Couchsurfing is not (only) about getting a free place to crush, but about exchanging ideas and cultures and getting to know other people. So if you want to make a request, please send me a link to one of your favorite songs. That way, I get to know new music and make sure, that you have read these lines ;)

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host several people in my room and I can show people around in Cologne and give plenty of tips. I also love cooking for/with my guests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted several times in Berlin and Cologne and I always really like it. It is a great to get to know so many different cultures and people while staying at home.

But to be honest I got a bit frustrated lately. I traveled the Balkans for 6 weeks and wrote around 30 request to stay with someone and all of them got declined, most often without reply message. But I won't give up on the Couchsurfing spirit!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't really like this question. It sounds so... competitive.
