IMPORTANT NOTE: Since I'm currently traveling a lot for application interviews (and don't have an apartment of my own), I unfortunately cannot host anyone these days! I'll be open for visitors again as soon as this changes!

I would think (or rather hope ^^ ) that I'm not the "typical nerd", although I can get quite fascinated with science & technology if triggered. But to be fair, I am also interested in pretty much any other intellectual topic and open-minded discussions :) However, I'm afraid that I don't really care about the Kardashians xD

For advanced instruction, you might want to know that I'm Bavarian and can be quite ironic, direct and jokingly offensive. Rule of thumb is: the more I insult you, the more I appreciate you ^^ yeah, we Bavarians are weird people :D

Apart, I try to enjoy life wherever I can: sports, cycling, traveling, dinner or barbecues with friends as well as bar evenings, concerts or whatever interesting event there might be.

Finally, for whoever doubts that a scientist can be badass: I do own and ride my motorcycle, which is the true love of my life B-)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I am very passionate about living "the international life", meaning having friendships and experiences that overcome any borders, may they be physical, cultural or personal. I highly enjoy the new perspectives it offers towards life and the different cultural mindsets, including my own.
And especially now that some narrow-minded movements are rising, I strive to "be the change you want to see in the world". By being welcoming and open-minded and friendly.
So far, I was never disappointed by any foreigner and made some of the most honest and sincere friendships I could imagine.
*Having friends all over the world as "travel basis" is a plus as well xD

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Spontaneously booking a weekend-trip to Bucharest in the Check-in line for my flight to St.Petersburg ^^

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

You may pick:
-Sophisticated talks about the impact of the potato onto the post-revolutionary russian society
-Probably more funny/embarassing stories and experiences than you can handle in one evening, possibly with great bavarian beer in my luggage ;)
-The outgoing craziness of a solid bavarian within the night-life, including a style of drinking which might qualify as alcoholism in some other regions xD
