Hi :) I'm a 25 year old student of photography from Munich, Germany. In spring 2023 (April + May) I'm traveling through Europe with my Interrail pass and will work on my Bachelor thesis. I also realized I had to get out of my bubble in Munich for a while, meet people, discover places, make new experiences and learn for the future.
I'm looking forward to meeting people who want to talk about life with me :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's still so much to learn about the commonalities and differences we have as people from different places and I would love to gain new perspectives, learn about different cultures, ways of life, and how people move through their lives in so many different ways.

Interests

I play the piano from time to time, sometimes also guitar and the drums since I used to take lessons as a kid.

I've been (mostly) vegan for over 3 years now, but not the annoying kind, don't worry, I think everyone makes his own decisions and these should be respected :) While traveling I eat vegetarian since it can be quite hard to always find vegan stuff.

I love learning about new languages, I guess because my mom speaks about 7 different ones, so please teach me something in yours!

I love taking photos, in fact I've been studying photography since 2018. It makes me create my view on the world, see beauty in ordinary things and aspects of life and there's nothing more satisyfing than the perfect colors and composition in a photograph, ideally taken by myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Finland for 5 months in 2022 and got to know a bunch of people from all over Europe, also doing their exchange semester. Besides meeting a girl from Spain who is now my girlfriend, I also learned the awesome feeling of being alone in a new place and meeting people from scratch who quickly became good friends. I can now say it was one of the best times I had in my whole life :)

Teach, Learn, Share

teach basics of german, italian, spanish, english; take photos, cooking vegan dishes

What I Can Share with Hosts

I consider myself to be an open-minded guy and to not have any problems sticking with other people quite quickly. Also I like to do every kind of stuff which means there should not be any problems with different interests. I can say that i'm also very clean and do respect private areas and times. :) I love good talks about the big things in life, new perspectives, experiences and feelings, as well as joking and laughing around about random stuff.
