CURRENT MISSION
I'm grounded in Tübingen most of the year. When I get the chance, I'm equally happy to host and to surf.

ABOUT ME

I may appear somewhat introvert at first, but if we get along well, you'll find that I am bigger on the inside.

Fair warning though: I am also quite big on the outside (6'6"), just so you know ;-)

Another thing, which may or may not be relevant to you, is that I am gay.
If you find this information irrelevant, I am all the more looking forward to meeting you.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is about experiences
- places, people, knowledge and skills, emotions, relationships, ... everything -
All experiences, be they good or bad, make up the unique journey that is one's life. I wouldn't want to miss anything I've experienced, because it made me who I am and brought me where I am.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer a couch in the seperate guest room of my apartment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not really done, just experienced: Heron Island in the southern Great Barrier Reef had the most intense colours I've ever seen: The rich green of the trees, the white coral sand beaches, the cyan sea, and all that canopied by an infinite, brilliant blue sky.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach basics in German (and biology), if you're interested in that.

I'd like to learn anything you want to teach me.

I would love to share recipes (and try them out right away).
