I am Dominic, a student from Germany and I love to travel, meeting new people and exploring new cultures. I am open for every adventure, drink, meal or senseless conversation and I think that platform gives me the opportunity to get to know more of them. I joined Couchsurfing in 2015 but never had the chance to use it back then because I was in an exchange student program in Ecuador. Right now I have the freedom to travel more and Couchsurfing gives me the opportunity to learn from people like they can do from me. I am half Italian and half French so I had the luck to grow up with different cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Like I mentioned above I love the idea of exploring new places with travelers, locals or even foreigners who live there.
I hate the idea of staying in a 5 star hotel and not seeing anything of the real life in the countries I visit, I am more of an adventures guy.

Interests

I love football and grew up in a football loving family, but I like all kind of sports, especially football and basketball but I always loved to try new things.
I am a competitive person, I can not lose and I love winning which also is a reason why I love sports so much.
The best thing about traveling is getting lost in places and not knowing what will happen next.
That is the reason why I never make plans while traveling because the most unexpected things always turn into the best adventures and convert into the best memories.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen and accept every type of music.
My personal favorite is rap music but I love to discover new styles of music in different countries as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Ecuador for one year on an exchange student program when I was 15 years old on my own. Beside the tears and hard times it was the most eyeopening experiences of my life. Visiting Galapagos, going to South american football matches and getting to know people from all over world - I did everything you could get imagine in one year of studying and traveling nonstop.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are mad about someones else's happiness you are blocking your own blessings.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my time, experiences, cooking skills and interest in their adventures and lifestyles.
I am open minded for everything and everyone and I will treat everybody how I expect to be treated.
