Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I just have the best experience with couchsurfing whether it was in Europe, South America, Australia or Asia. All over my travels I was staying at awesome peoples places and had a great time. Apart from that I also just catched up with other travels or met locals who were showing me around in there countries :)...Thx for all of that!
Also I had the chance to host an awesome person at my house and we experienced some really cool stuff together.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

If it was in Europe, South America, Asia or Australia, my experience are just great. Couchsurfing made my travels definitly more exciting and I hope to get a lot more of these great experience :)
Cause of Couchsurfing I saw places I would have never seen without it and for that Iam very thankful!
Also I think I gave/can give you a great view on Leipzig, cause its one of the coolest cities I have ever been to ;) Places no Lonely Planet will tell you about.

Interests

Friends, family, people, humans - hang out with them, meet new, talk, laugh, party. Traveling - Oh god, traveling has given me so much. Everytime it makes you richer from the inside. I love music - many different kinds - from hardcore and metal music to drum n base and dubstep over minimal/electro/techno/goa/psytrance sounds. And thats why I love Festivals so much - great music, awesome people and the best experience ever :). Sports are also so a lot of fun - surfing, longboarding, snowboarding or show me just something new. Food - food is making me so happy. I love to eat, to cook(even if its not the best xD) and to try the typical food of other regions. Also Iam interested in good vegetarian and vegan stuff.

Apart from that I have a huge interest in our environment. Even if we cant change the big problems Iam trying to live more responsible and sustainable. It really hurts me to see how we are wasting our planet so its up to every single one of us to change at least a bit :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The last years of my life were amazing all over.

In 2013 it was biking down the Death Road in Bolivia, hiking to Gocta Waterfall in Peru, Antaris Festival in Germany, surfing in France and ofcourse spending time with the people and friends I know and met all over this beautiful planet.
In 2014 I made the intense experience of traveling in Venezuela and made it to the coffee region in Colombia, which was a environmental paradise. Apart from that it was a hitch-hiking trip with one of my best friends down to Portugal to enjoy the amazing Boom Festival <3

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want to travel to Thailand or Australia I probably got some really good advices for you. Same goes for Europe and South America. Especially if you like cheap traveling.
I also can try to learn you juggling even if Iam not the best one...but 3 balls is a good start anyway and Iam happy if u could show me new tricks xD
Apart from that Iam able to show you places in Leipzig no Lonely Planet will show you...especially in the nightlife.

Show me new sports - show me hidden places you love - show me underground scenes in your city - show me street art - introduce me to your friends - lets cook and eat together :) would be awesome!
