I am currently doing a PhD at RWTH Aachen University. In my freetime I enjoy going rockclimbing or running. I am traveling quite frequently, and have visited maybe 80 countries so far. I enjoy cooking all kinds of food, but my special dish is Pizza. I am trying to eat vegan at home, and typically vegan-vegetarian when I am abroad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling, and I love meeting new people from other countries. It's the best opportunity to see and feel how it is to live in the country.

Interests

Travelling, Diving, all kinds of Natural science, reading, climing, cooking... while travelling I like walking around and exploring without always consulting a travel guide.

Music, Movies, and Books

All kinds of music, from alternative to electronic music.
I like action movies and thrillers, and comdies from time to time.
When on longer trips I tend to read a lot of books at once, at home
I barely find time...I enjoy science books as well as history stuff...
My recommendation: The Invention of Nature (It's about Humboldt)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossed the Atlantic on a 14 m sailboat with 6 crazy dutch guys. Diving with 25 Bullsharks in Fiji, seen an active volcano close-up in Guatemala

What I Can Share with Hosts

A lot of travel stories, a lot of pictures and videos from my trips, cook delicious German (vegetarian/vegan) dishes, go out for a few drinks...
