UPDATE February 2025: I'm currently not hosting, but would love to meet new people :-)

Hi, I'm Alex, a passionate, humorous, and sometimes untypical German who loves music, traveling, animals, genealogy, and many other things. So far, I have lived in 3 countries, travelled to 42 countries and attended live concerts in 31 countries.

TL;DR:

- Please take a moment to read some of my references. Then you can decide whether you'd like to stay with me or not.
- Please note: no drugs, smoking, or excessive alcohol. If you want to party, that's great, but then I'm not the right host for you.
- Religion: Everyone is welcome. Let's respect each other's beliefs—no attempts to convert each other, okay? :-)
- Please be an independent traveler. I'd love to hang out with you, but sometimes I won't have the time.
- Please don't confuse couchsurfing with a free place to stay. I'm not a hostel. If you know what couchsurfing is, awesome! And if you're new to couchsurfing, welcome! These two links were a great starting point for me when I began:

Interests

I appreciate authentic and profound people who have a heart of gold. Life is truly too precious for lies, hate, war, and artificiality. I have a soft spot for people who struggle and won't give up, who are modest, humble, who value their lives and try to make the world a better place with their actions or by just being nice and helpful. People who actually live and don't only exist. People with their own opinions who stand for their beliefs and don't betray others. People who are emotional, who doubt and love to laugh. Who follow their dreams. Gosh, that's rare. Sigh.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a music freak, saw artists live in many countries and love listening to extreme metal, rock, pop, classical, folk, electronica, hip-hop, jazz and what-have-you. Please show me your favourite music 😊
