Open-minded with a big heart and a cheeky grin.
Love to be outdoors doing anything from layzing in the sun to climbing rocks, sailing the 7 seas and letting the good times roll.
I played ice hockey for a long time and am an avid downhill skiier. Very much love mountains and miss them in my hometown of Hamburg.
Very interested in general world history, politics, culture & arts and human behaviour.
Give me a good book or even an average one and I won't drop it till I'm done.
Founded a company 3 years ago (online furniture shop green-spirit.de) to work and live more independently and be able to travel.
I enjoy cooking and eating, mostly more healthy than junk food. Love to experiment with new flavours.
Finally, I love the European idea of open borders, liberty & peace and think of myself as a European/Global citizen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We live in times where almost anything is possible, particularily with money involved. The one thing the civilized population lacks is real human interaction; with all information available with a few clicks or swipes chance encouters of strangers have become rare. Couchsurfing fills that gap. It helps people from the most different backgrounds connect and share their stories, and possibly their home. The idea is brilliant. Go wander the world and meet friends along the path wherever it may take you. Stay foolish, stay hungy!
