Happy to hang around & show around (as much as I can) Darmstadt, Frankfurt/Main or Mainz. 😊

I'm some sort of a strange human breed from Germany, Japan, and the UK who is studying Geosciences.
With friends scattered all over the globe, I usually travel to stay with my friends. Couch, inflatable mattress, bed...It's always better than a hotel bed (unless you pissed me off). ;-)

I've moved countries a few times and always loved meeting new people and being introduced to somewhere new from a local's point of view.
It has defiantly contributed to the topping of some of my most wonderful trips. And it's great how friendships establish, some in the weirdest way you'd think of.

Exploring is one of my favourite activities. But work usually wears me out enough to not do this in the places I live in.

Again, I am sorry for not being able to host. But if anyone fancies a meet-up in Darmstadt, Frankfurt or Mainz, do let me know!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Primarily to see new places through the eyes of people living there. Meeting new people has always been one of the greatest eye opener and motivation for me to travel.
At the end of the day, it is receiving and giving.

I've not surfed much because I've ended up with quite a few friends all over the world. And usually I crash on their couch.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Solo travel through Lithuania including to less known places near the borders and experience life there.

Teach, Learn, Share

Show you around Frankfurt, Darmstadt or Mainz.

If your are learning German or English, you are welcome to practise and improve it with my help.
I'm a hopeless language learner myself, so I'm not even going to suggest someone teaching me their language.
