Hi, I'm Thies! I live in Oldenburg, Germany, and study Sustainability Economics and Management. When I'm not studying, I like to make music, do sports, be outside in nature, and cook nice food. I enjoy spontaneous conversation and going on small and big adventures. I'd describe myself as a social, friendly person that's easy to get along with and interested in what people think of the world. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I made an account years ago but never used it. This year will be a lot of travelling for me and so I thought, hey, why not try couchsurfing! Meeting some new people is always interesting and I hope to be able to welcome couch-surfers in my home by the end of the year!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Omar Apollo, Hozier and all sorts of Pop, HipHop, Indie and Electronic music!

My book of the year (so far, it's only february) is Playground by Richard Powers

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Do a month of hiking on the Camino de Santiago in Spain! Meeting the friendliest people, spending all day outside and sleeping like a baby. Had many ups and downs during that hiking trip and I can't wait to go back again to continue my journey!
