About Me

-Quick me:
Love to stay active, practice sports and then relax with a good coffee and a chat.

-Currently:
Living in Hamburg, working on my PhD. I am also founding a startup and I am a padel coach.

-Ready to:
Give you an amazing free tour in a wonderful city like Hanburg, with all its museums and sightseeings (maybe I should start getting paid for it, we will see).

See you soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to find the secret spots of every city I visit, those which do not appear on the guide.
Love to be told about stories and experiences. Maybe one day I can write a book out of them.

Music, Movies, and Books

I will probably be listening to Muse or the Black Keys when you knock on my door, so knock it loud!

I like to read research papers about new techniques to apply convolutional neural networks for image analysis and object recognition. Nah, not really true but sometimes I need to. The rest of the times I like a good novel and will also go through all the Harry Potter books (after many years) thanks to a lovely present from my flatmate.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jus one? Here is my top 6:
- Travel California with my friends
- Watch the northern lights in Iceland
- Climb up the Teide ( a quite high mountain in the Canary Islands) under the stars
- Erasmus in Riga
- Stand on the Kjeragbolten (an old rock) in Norway 1000 meters above the Lysefjord
- Scuba Diving for suspiciously little money in the Dominican Republic

Teach, Learn, Share

I can probably teach you some historic facts about the cities I have lived in and a few gymnastic moves by now, and of course some Spanish or German words of good use. I could teach you how to make a good Spanish Tortilla and Paella as well.

I would learn or write down the recipe for your local special dish. I would like to learn how it is to live wherever you have lived and how you survived it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Culture, a couch and a beer on a good night out or in.
